WEB-API issue

[mojitocup]

Hi,

We have Cloud-1 Solutions on AWS.

When i want to publish changes made with API, and I send API request to /publish i have 2 issues:

If i keep it empty, then i have response:

{ "code": "generic_err_invalid_syntax", "message": "Payload is empty" }

If i put current session {"uid":"<currentsession>"} i get:

{ "code": "not_implemented", "message": "Publishing other than current session is not implemented" }

But session is inputted correctly.

Please advice what to do and how to publish changes via API.

Thank you.

Hi,

i am using POSTMAN.

Just sending POST to this urls:

Login:

curl --location 'https://OURCOMPANYLINK.maas.checkpoint.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/web_api/login' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--data '{

"api-key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

}'

ALL GOOD!

Then do changes

curl --location 'https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.maas.checkpoint.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx//web_api/delet...' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--header 'X-chkp-sid: {{sid}}' \

--data-raw '{"name":"email@example.com"}'

ALL GOOD!


Then publish:

curl --location 'https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.maas.checkpoint.com/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx//web_api/publi...' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--header 'X-chkp-sid: {{sid}}' \

--data '{"uid":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"}'

{

    "code": "not_implemented",

    "message": "Publishing other than current session is not implemented"

}

IF i keep data/body empty or POST without data/body i get this:

{

    "code": "generic_err_invalid_syntax",

    "message": "Payload is empty"

}

It's still not clear exactly how you are constructing the API call when it says "payload is empty."
Your publish API call:

• Needs to have an empty body: { }
• Should not include uid in the headers (what the "publishing other than current session not implemented" means)

See: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/latest/APIs/index.html#web/publish~v1.9%20

Okay. found the issue. Dumb thing used 

--data '' as an empty raw data instead should use 

--data '{}' 

Thank you!
