Issues updating node's property with ReSTful API

Maqsood Khan

Hi All,

I'm trying to update property (attribute) of a particular category with below ReST API. This is working fine when tested with Postman client. However, the same is not working when trying with Apache HttpClient (in Java). The issue is its returning 200 as response but property isn't getting updated in CS (v10.5).
Appreciate your help in pointing out the error and thanks in advance for your help!

REST API: /nodes/{id}/categories/{category_id}/

Java Program:

PutMethod put = new PutMethod("http://xxxxx/OTCS/cs.exe/api/v1/nodes/274613/categories/110000");
put.setRequestHeader("OTCSTICKET", "Xvz7NzQK59RPt6r0kTo+GPl7qqk9oKqj+h+304VED3C1bvEsejdhtMKGt1dfEWU9");
NameValuePair[] params = new NameValuePair[1];
params[0] = new NameValuePair("110000_5", "xx1234563");
put.setQueryString(params);
//put.setQueryString("110000_5=123456"); // this too is not working
int statusCode = httpClient.executeMethod(put); // this is retruning as 200

Regards,

Hi, try sending your parameters in as a JSON object with the parameter named as 'body'. For example, go to POSTMAN and try the following:

PUT   http://xxxxx/OTCS/cs.exe/api/v1/nodes/274613/categories/110000
body = {"110000_5":"xx1234563"}

See if this works first.
