Create Space API Error?

[Justin Freres]

Any idea why this code would not work?  StatusCode: 406, ReasonPhrase: 'Not Acceptable'

           var c = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(space); 

            var content = new StringContent(c);

            var client = new HttpClient();
            client.BaseAddress = new Uri(baseURL + "/v1/spaces.json");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Api-Key", creds.ApiKey);
            client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Api-Secret", creds.ApiSecret);
            HttpResponseMessage response = client.PostAsync(client.BaseAddress, content).Result;
            status = response.StatusCode.ToString();

Support for assembla api is really lacking.  Solved the issue myself.  The 406 error is not helpful. 
It means that the json name space is not correct.. However, i was never able to get queryparams using httpclient to work correctly.. Switched to RestRequest. 
Hope this helps someone...

          string assemblaBaseUrl = "https://api.assembla.com/";
            RestClient assemblaClient = new RestClient(assemblaBaseUrl)
            {
             
            };
            var request = new RestRequest("/v1/spaces/"+ spaces.wiki_name + "/copy.json", RestSharp.Method.POST); // space template must be passed in to create using template
            request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;
            request.AddHeader("Accept", "application/json");
            request.AddHeader("X-Api-Key", creds.ApiKey);
            request.AddHeader("X-Api-Secret", creds.ApiSecret);
            request.AddJsonBody(new { space = space });  // required to add a namespace to the serialized json object required by assembla
            var response = assemblaClient.Post<AssemblaSpace>(request);  // save the new space

Hi Justin,

I'm sorry for the delay and for the inconvenience. Thanks for sharing the solution!

What is wrong with the api adding a document to a space?  I have tried using Json Body and Query Params?

string path = @"/~App_Data/ProjectFiles/" + projectFilesToSpace.Guid.ToString() + "/" + item.Name;

// set file to stream

FileStream stream = new FileStream(item.FullName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

BinaryReader reader = new BinaryReader(stream);

byte[] data = reader.ReadBytes((int)reader.BaseStream.Length);

spacefile.file = data;

spacefile.name = item.Name;

spacefile.folder_name = "Project Request Files";

string assemblaBaseUrl = "https://bigfiles.assembla.com";

RestClient assemblaClient = new RestClient(assemblaBaseUrl)

{

};

var request = new RestRequest("/v1/spaces/" + spaces.id + "/documents.json", RestSharp.Method.POST);

request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;

request.AddHeader("Accept", "application/json");

request.AddHeader("X-Api-Key", creds.ApiKey);

request.AddHeader("X-Api-Secret", creds.ApiSecret);

request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");

//request.AddQueryParameter("document[file]","@" + item.FullName);

//request.AddQueryParameter("document[name]", item.Name);

//request.AddQueryParameter("document[folder_name]", spacefile.folder_name);

request.AddJsonBody(new { document = spacefile }); // required to add a namespace to the serialized json object required by assembla

var response = assemblaClient.Post<AssemblaSpace>(request); // save the new space document

Hi Justin,

there is nothing wrong with the API itself. You probably missed the notice at http://api-doc.assembla.com/content/ref/documents_create.html , which states the following:

To upload a file using the API add the Content-Type multipart/form-data header to your request headers, no JSON or XML data bodies is supported during file creation

So no JSON  body - you need to actually send data as a form. Please let me know if that helps.

Regards,

Stanislav
