Catalog API is not working

[SANDEEP28]

Hi All,

I created test catalog item to create request using Service Catalog API. I am using "Buy Item(POST)" method in REST API explorer. But its giving me below error. Can anyone help here

{
  "error": {
    "message": "com.glide.rest.domain.ServiceException: Exception while reading request",
    "detail": ""
  },
  "status": "failure"

}

Paylod:

{
'sysparm_id': 'f59b3f0e9709121080e4b390f053af49',
'sysparm_quantity': '1',
'variables':{
'car_name': nexon'
}
}

There is only one variable in this catalog item

hi @SANDEEP28 ,

pass below payload in raw

{
'sysparm_id': 'f59b3f0e9709121080e4b390f053af49',
'sysparm_quantity': '1',
'variables':{
'car_name': 'nexon'
}
}

try to execute once again.

Thanks,

Hi @SANDEEP28 

As per the payload shared by you, you have missed a ' before nexon. Please try with below payload and see if it works :

{
'sysparm_id': 'f59b3f0e9709121080e4b390f053af49',
'sysparm_quantity': '1',
'variables':{
'car_name': 'nexon'
}
}

Thanks and Regards

Hi @SANDEEP28 ,

There is just a little error in payload please correct it as below

Paylod:

'sysparm_quantity': '1',

Hi @SANDEEP28,

Mostly in this scenario, we get the error in payload. To validate the payload, you can use this site below:

https://jsonlint.com/

And there is minor issue in your payload:

{
'sysparm_id': 'f59b3f0e9709121080e4b390f053af49',
'sysparm_quantity': '1',
'variables':{
'car_name': 'nexon'
}
}

Please accept my solution if it works for you and thumps up.

Thanks
