Hi everyone recently i have been trying to do a fetch post in app script, from an api called salesbinder(inventory system), i have managed to fetch and pulls all inventory data down, however i have been struggling to post and add document to it and received an error code ->
"Truncated server response: {"message":"Unauthorized","url":"\/api\/2.0\/documents.json","code":401}"
since I am using the same username and password I can assure that the details are correct for the authentication, would appreciate a lot if anyone could help me to solve the problem.
Here are the api documentaion (https://www.salesbinder.com/api/documents/add/) and the code i have been using.
function posting(){
var Username = "{API KEY}"
var Password = "x"
var headers = {
"Authorization" : "Basic " + Utilities.base64Encode(Username+ ':' + Password)
};
var url ='{API URL}'
var data ={
"document":{
"customer_id": 'a93a9e9a-5837-4ec5-9dc7-47cc8cfd84e4',
"issue_date":"2022-05-09",
"context_id":5,
"document_items":[
{
"quantity":2,
"price":134,
"item_id":" b04993fe-7b17-42a1-b5e5-2d34890794c9"
}
]
},
};
var option = {
"method": "post",
'payload' : data,
"headers": {headers},
};
UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, option);
}
I think that your error message of "message":"Unauthorized" is due to "headers": {headers},. This has already been mentioned in chrisg86's comment.
And also, from this document, it seems that the request body is required to be sent with Content-Type: application/json.
var option = {
"method": "post",
'payload' : data,
"headers": {headers},
};
var option = {
"method": "post",
"payload": JSON.stringify(data),
headers, // or "headers": headers
"contentType": "application/json"
};
"Basic " + Utilities.base64Encode(Username+ ':' + Password), data and url are correct. Please be careful this.
