REST Service Update - Error 400 (Bad Request)

[Andy Parker]

I'm trying to update an array field in a database using rest services, and have followed the instructions by Max found here:

https://getsatisfaction.com/apperyio/...

I can get the service to work when testing, I can change the value of the array field in question on the row in question by using the correct object_id, and a value
eg ["Andy","Dave","John"] and this is successful and reflected when I check the database.

However, when I call the service from within my code, I get error 400 (Bad Request).
I have added javascript to the service to display the object ID in the browser console (and thats correct) and the data to update (the above is an example), and its correct.

Can you help please?

Hi Andy,

What can you see on console Network tab? Please look at not only service response code, but its headers also.

Thanks Katya,

Here is what I see on the Network tab:

You send us a short form. Please provide us with the full text with headers. Also please close cookies and safety keys.

See an example below:

Here's the header:

And heres the other screens, it seems as though the error is the data being sent for the array. This works on the test, any ideas?

And here is the working screenshot from the REST Test page.

You send an array incorrectly. For request parameter followers_username add JS code that returns an array (not the string JSON.stringify).

[Andy Parker]

cool, many thanks.

Odd that it works from the Test page as a string ?

[Kateryna Grynko]

I think yes.

Thanks again Katya, I've added the code below and this works great!
