Hi,

I am trying to test a rest call on the browser using the following url:
https://api.tiggzi.com/rest/1/db/coll...

And I keep getting this json response:
{"code":"request","description":"database id not specified"}

How do I specify the ID correctly in an https call to your database?

Thanks!

Are you testing directly from the browser?

Yes! I also tried the following javascript function and I got the same thing:

function testRest()
{

$.getJSON("https://api.tiggzi.com/rest/1/db/coll...",
{
'X-Tiggzi-Database-Id': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', // actual database id instead of x's
'type': 'get',
'dataType': 'json',
'contentType': 'application/json',
},
function(data) {
alert(data);
});

}

I don't know why your request doesn't work, but if you do a curl command it works:

curl -X GET -H "X-Tiggzi-Database-Id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" https://api.tiggzi.com/rest/1/db/coll...

X-Tiggzi-Database-Id -- is a header parameter.

Hmmm I don't know why either, I am thinking the proper tag for the database ID is not X-Tiggzi-Database-Id when using .getJSON

Is there any way to make a curl call using javascript or jquery and then play around with the returned data?

Thanks!

It will be the same parameter name: X-Tiggzi-Database-Id

No, I am saying how do I make a curl call in javascript? Or how am i supposed to execute the curl call so that I can receive the data back ?

Make a jQuery Ajax call...

function testRest()
{

$.ajax({
url: "https://api.tiggzi.com/rest/1/db/coll...",
'X-Tiggzi-Database-Id': 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'jsonp',
contentType: 'application/json',
"message": 'testing', // this is a data field in the database
},
function(data) {
alert('success');
console.log(data);
});

}

I am trying this but it won't work create a new entry in the database, any idea what am I doing wrong? All the information I've entered is correct ...

X-Tiggzi-Database-Id needs to be a header...
