Help on REST API Category upgrade

Dharani Devi

Hi,

We are trying to upgrade a category using REST API. Below is the URL we tried:

<CSURL>/v2/nodes/{id}/categories/upgrade using PUT method.

Passing the body parameter in below format.

{

"category_id":[8479]

}

We are getting the error showing as "Missing Parameters".

Please help us to fix this.

Thanks,

Dharani D.

See implementation notes. What it simply means is that you have to create a fake "body" form parameter so as not to be confused with the form/HTML body that is part of the request thing. Just look in the examples for how to add a file, version,etc. Your data is probably correct, but you are missing sending the fake "body" form key pair.

See a simple example or postman screenshots https://appukili.wordpress.com/2022/04/17/take-some-rest/ in the screencap. You can see in the real Body I am setting a Form Data value body which itself is a JSON

so when you turn the code in postman, it will look something like

research a little bit on HTML POST and how files are generally transported to a webserver although in your case it looks like it is not expecting a multipart form.
