Getting a 415 error (Google Apps Scripts)

[Roger Marsh]

Hi All,

I am trying to create opportunities using the following script but am getting 415 errors, "message":"Missing or invalid Content-Type header". I have checked the headers and they look good! Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

function myCapsule() {

var url = 'https://example.capsulecrm.com/api/party/111111111/opportunity';

var data =
{
"opportunity": {
"name": "From Google Apps",
"partyId": "1111111111",
"milestone": "Milestone"
}
};

var payload = JSON.stringify(data);

var headers = {
'Content-type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': 'Basic '+ Utilities.base64Encode('apikey:a-letter')
};


var options =
{
'headers' : headers,
'method' : 'post',
'payload' : payload
};

var capsulePost = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);

Hi Roger!

It looks like your code is pretty close. There is a setting in the fetch options for setting the content type which has precedence over a content type you try to set by including a Content-Type header in headers yourself. The default value for the contentType option is application/x-www-form-urlencoded so you need to override this in your options like so:

var options = {

    'contentType' : 'application/json',

    'headers' : headers,

    'method' : 'post',

    'payload' : payload

};

To get JSON back in your response as well you should add 'Accept' to the headers:

var headers = {    

    'Accept': 'application/json',

    'Authorization': 'Basic '+ Utilities.base64Encode('apikey:a-letter')

};

adding Accept is a separate point though, it's putting the content type in options that's key to fixing the 415.

Give those changes a try and your request should be accepted now.

Cheers,

-Michael

Perfect! That did the trick.

Best,

Roger

Thanks so much for your help.
