Issue with body of rest API script

[Snehal13]

Getting error as 

Javascript compiler exception: unterminated string literal 

Script is below

var request = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
request.setEndpoint('<apiURLhere>');
request.setHttpMethod('POST');
 
var payload="{
    'data': [
        '<value here>'
    ]
}";

request.setRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/json');

request.setRequestBody(payload);
var response = request.execute();

gs.log(response.getBody());

What is breaking the body part ?

Hello @Snehal13 ,

try this:

var request = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
request.setEndpoint('<apiURLhere>');
request.setHttpMethod('POST');
 
var payload = '{
    "data": [
        "<value here>"
    ]
}';

request.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

request.setRequestBody(payload);
var response = request.execute();

gs.log(response.getBody());

however, I'd configure the message first through Rest Message module:

and then I'd call it like prescribed in this reference to the API: sn_ws.RESTMessageV2 

Regards, Ivan

Hi @Snehal13, This occurs due to the unterminated string literal somewhere in the code, as you have already tried with double quotes for paylaod variable object, can you check with back tick (``) or single quote ('')

var request = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
request.setEndpoint('<apiURLhere>');
request.setHttpMethod('POST');
 
var payload = `{
    "data": [
        "<value here>"
    ]
}`;

request.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

request.setRequestBody(payload);
var response = request.execute();

gs.log(response.getBody());

OR

var request = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
request.setEndpoint('<apiURLhere>');
request.setHttpMethod('POST');
 
var payload = '{
    "data": [
        "<value here>"
    ]
}';

request.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');

request.setRequestBody(payload);
var response = request.execute();

gs.log(response.getBody());

Hi @Snehal13 remove the "" double codes after payload, that should solve the issue.

var request = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
request.setEndpoint('<apiURLhere>');
request.setHttpMethod('POST');
var payload={
'data': [
'<value here>'
]
};
request.setRequestHeader("Accept","application/json");
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/json');

request.setRequestBody(payload);
var response = request.execute();

gs.log(response.getBody());
