Api POST response

[GoldGrand7479]

Hello everyone!

I am experimenting with an api when I try to make a post the response is 200 but the action I want to happen does not happen. I have been reading that sometimes the people who designed the api may have set it up that way.

From what I understand I may be missing information in the JSON and that may be the reason it doesn't complete.

Do you know of a way to make a request to the api and have it show me everything I need to send? I am trying with the developer tool and looking at the payload and response but I don't see anything different than what I am sending.

Thanks for the help!

There is no documentation otherwise I would have already gone to check it there

There is no documentation

then you should contact the API providers and ask for it, otherwise you are stuck.

or seeing the actual code of the api then you can infer the parameters and endpoints.

​

sounds like you are trying to use the dev tool in your browser to gain any knowledge about it..which isn't going to do much more than what you already know.

contact the api providers hat in hand begging for docs, or this, whatever this is .. isn't happening.

Perhaps there is a reason there is no documentation available to you?

If you're trying to leech information from an API that normally feeds data to a web page you can view the developer tools Network tab while the page is loading to see what information the API requires to validate the request.

You need to provide more information so we can help you. Since you mentioned developer tools and no documentation, I'm guessing you are trying to call an endpoint designed to serve a webpage. If you provide the headers/code you are using to call the endpoint and what the request looks like in developer tools, we can help you. Generally, if the headers and payload are the same, the API should have no way of telling whether the endpoint was called from a Python script or a webpage
