The current documentation is a little lacking on how exactly to submit forms via Ajax. There is The Entries POST API but it talks only about xml, and doesn't even show an example payload.
I see that Wufoo has a half-built, abandoned jQuery plugin wufoo/Wufoo-jQuery-API-Wrapper which seems to do little more than wrap $.get and format errors a bit. POST is listed as a "todo".
I've tried hitting the API with things like:
{
"Field1": "first",
"Field2": "last",
"Field3": "email@example.com",
"Field4": "test messsage",
}
And based on the line "This call would contain POST parameters in name/value pairs" and the example postAuthenticated(array('Field1' => 'Frank')); I tried just sending an array of arrays.
[
['Field1', 'first'],
['Field2', 'last'],
['Field3', 'email@example.com'],
['Field4', 'test messsage']
]
But since those are obviously the wrong format, I always get the following in response.
{
"Success": 0,
"ErrorText": "Errors have been <b>highlighted</b> below.",
"FieldErrors": [
{
"ID": "Field3",
"ErrorText": "This field is required. Please enter a value."
},
{
"ID": "Field4",
"ErrorText": "This field is required. Please enter a value."
}
]
}
Does anyone have any idea how to format these requests? Maybe someone with more experience with CurlService could interpret it from their example, but I can't make heads or tails of that documentation, nor find any examples online.
I should have known. The service doesn't accept json, it only replies in json. Submitting a regular urlencoded form body works.
