[SOLVED] 405 Error when trying to use the Send Message API endpoint

405 Error when trying to use the Send Message API endpoint

I'm using Python's request package with the following code:

APIKEY = "XXX"
url = 'https://services.kommunicate.io/rest/ws/message/v2/send HTTP/1.1'

myobj = {
    'groupId': "xxx",
    'message':'Hello',
    "fromUserName":'yyy'
        }

headers = {
    'Api-Key':APIKEY,
}
response = requests.post(url, data = myobj,headers=headers)

And is giving me the following error:

'{"status":"error","errorResponse":[{"errorCode":"AL-MA-01","description":"method not allowed","displayMessage":"Request method \\u0027POST\\u0027 not supported"}],"generatedAt":1591385905404}'

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

There are few issues with the code.
1. HTTP/1.1 is not part of the URL.
2. In requests package, in order to pass a JSON to server, there are multiple ways to do.

a. Use json parameter provided in requests.post method for sending JSON data to the server, something like below code:

import requests

APIKEY = "XXX"
url = 'https://services.kommunicate.io/rest/ws/message/v2/send'
myobj = {
    'groupId': "xxx",
    'message': 'Hello',
    "fromUserName": 'yyy'
}

headers = {'Api-Key': APIKEY}

response = requests.post(url, json=myobj, headers=headers)

b. In Headers add "Content-Type": "application/json" and then first dump json data to string and then send it to server.

import requests
import json 

APIKEY = "XXX"
url = 'https://services.kommunicate.io/rest/ws/message/v2/send'
myobj = {
    'groupId': "xxx",
    'message': 'Hello',
    "fromUserName": 'yyy'
}

headers = {
    'Api-Key': APIKEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

myobj = json.dumps(myobj)

response = requests.post(url, data=myobj, headers=headers)
