QuickBase AddRecord API Call

I'm using Postman to test Quickbase API call - AddRecord. For someone reason, my POST request is generating an error 2. What do I need to correct?

AddRecord : (https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/add_record.html)

Error 2 : (https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/errorcodes.html)

I've tried using an apptoken in my call along with a usertoken. I've tried using FID instead of the field name. None my attempts to at a solution work.

<qdbapi>
  <usertoken>MyUserToken</usertoken>
  <field name="Last_Name">My Last Name</field>
  <field name="First_Name">My First Name</field>
</qdbapi>

POST-ing to url https://myurlname.quickbase.com/db/DBID

Headers are:

Content-Type: application/xml

QUICKBASE-ACTION: API_AddRecord

I expect to receive 

<qdbapi>
 <action>API_AddRecord</action>
 <errcode>0</errcode>
 <errtext>No error</errtext>
 ...
</qdbapi>

but instead received 

<qdbapi>
 <action>API_AddRecord</action>
 <errcode>2</errcode>
 <errtext>Invalid input</errtext>
</qdbapi>
Solution

  • It seems I was using the wrong target_db_id. Simply changing it to the correct db_id resolved my issue.
