Is it possible to get an example/tutorial on how to set-up API Express to send channel information to Devices database f

[tcbeaton]

I have tried numerous times to get an API Express implementation of sending channel information back to Appery for a device. The response shows the correct channel values, and returns a 200 OK status, but checking the Devices DB does not reflect the channel request.

Hello,

Could you clarify, how do you update these values? Please send us a screenshot with it?

[tcbeaton]

Below is a screen shot of how I currently have it configured. I've also tried putting the deviceID directly in the ServiceURL, and tried putting channels and deviceID in the Request Header Parameters. In all cases, when I click on Generate I get 200 OK along with the rest of the response. Thanks.

1) You use a device registration request instead of sending. Please look at this link, which URL you have to use there: https://docs.appery.io/reference#push...

2) Please add a value of the X-Appery-App-Id, it can't be an undefined

[tcbeaton]

Sergiy, I put the X-Appery-App-Id in when I click Generate in API Express, but results are still wrong!

1) Here's the database before I click "Generate":

2) Here's how I'm filling out the fields:

3) Here's the response to "Run REST API" (note: "updatedAt" shows current timestamp, but channels is [4]; server HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE" is "200"):

4) Here's the database afterwards (note: shows update timestamp, but still shows [4], not [1,3]):

[Serhii Kulibaba]

Please set a request parameter "body":

prerequestBody = {channels:JSON.parse(PARAMS.QUERY.channels)};/pre

So your parameters should be, like:

Hi Sergiy, Still no luck. Below are the two screenshots. After I "Run REST API" the database is still showing "[4]" for the channels.

Please use a service Test tab fro the testiong, instead of "generate response".

As you can see on the screenshot below, it works fine:

[tcbeaton]

Thank you, Sergiy! Finally, it worked.

Just out of curiosity, why would the "Generate Response" option not work, since that's already on that page?

[Serhii Kulibaba]

It also works fine (you did't fill a request body field)

Please look at the example below:
