Patient Creation 400 error using Google Apps Script

[Dhruv Magar]

Hello,

I am running into a 400 error while trying to POST to api/patients from Google Apps Script. The message says that I am missing the required 'gender' and 'doctor' parameters, but they are clearly defined in the payload of the request. I am able to authenticate properly, so I know I am not having an issue there. Here is a minimal payload sample which was yielding me the error:

function test_create_patient(){

const url = 'https://drchrono.com/api/patients'

var options = {};

options.headers = {Authorization: 'Bearer ' + getOAuthService().getAccessToken()};

options.method = 'POST';

options.payload = JSON.stringify({'gender': "Male",'doctor': 355753, 'first_name': 'Test', 'last_name': 'API'});

const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);

Logger.log(JSON.parse(response))

}

Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening? Thanks in advance!

Hello Dhruv. 
I'm thinking it may be necessary to add "{'content-type': 'application/json'}" to your headers to appropriately translate the values you've submitted. Let me know if that works.

Hi Druv, 

Adding on to Aaron's reply, have you also tried not using "JSON.stringify" in the payload? 

You can also use this tool called workload to use the API that handles everything like auth, payloads, etc. without writing code. 

Interested to know if that helps!

Hi all,

Sorry for the late response - I needed to add '{'content-type': 'application/json'}' like Aaron had commented. 

Thanks for your help!
