hsp request issues

[Brian]

Hi,

I'm just starting out I'm running the following python script against the hsp service

import requests

jsonRequest = """{from_loc:"VIC",to_loc:"BTN",from_time:"0700",to_time:"0800",from_date:"2016-12-27",to_date:"2016-12-27",days:"WEEKDAY"}"""
resp = requests.post("https://hsp-prod.rockshore.net/api/v1/serviceMetrics/", auth=(<username removed>,<password removed>), json=jsonRequest)
print(resp._content)

but am getting the error 

{"my_journey_errors":{"errors":["Could not read document: Can not instantiate value of type [simple type, class com.caci.hsp.myjourney.api.ServiceMetricsRequestSchema] from String value ('{from_loc:\"VIC\",to_loc:\"BTN\",from_time:\"0700\",to_time:\"0800\",from_date:\"2016-12-27\",to_date:\"2016-12-27\",days:\"WEEKDAY\"}'); no single-String constructor/factory method"]}}

Can anyone shed any light on what is wrong with my request.

Thanks,

Brian

First thoughts are that you aren't sending valid JSON. You're instead sending a string which looks like a Python dictionary. You probably want to make jsonRequest actually be a dictionary rather than a string when you pass it into the json object, ie,

import requests

jsonRequest = {from_loc:"VIC",to_loc:"BTN",from_time:"0700",to_time:"0800",from_date:"2016-12-27",to_date:"2016-12-27",days:"WEEKDAY"}
resp = requests.post("https://hsp-prod.rockshore.net/api/v1/serviceMetrics/", auth=(<username removed>,<password removed>), json=jsonRequest)
print(resp._content)
