Re: [dspace-community] DSpace REST API: creating a new item

[Tim Donohue]

Hi Carlos,

It looks like your JSON request is wrongly formatted for creating a new item.  Here's an example of the proper format for this JSON: 

https://github.com/BrunoNZ/dspace-rest-requests/blob/master/requests/POST_new-items.sh#L7-L27

In general, that GitHub repo provides good examples for DSpace 6.x REST API.  It also can be found linked from our docs at https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC6x/REST+API#RESTAPI-AdditionalInformation

Subject: [dspace-community] DSpace REST API: creating a new item

 

Hello,

I am aware this is a very basic question, but I haven't found a solution to my problem. When attempting to post a new item into a collection, I get an error which I don't understand. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

This is how my HTTP request looks like:

* Method: POST
* URL: https://www.weizenbaum-library.de/rest/collections/12e466f0-644a-4171-80a8-c55999888b5a/items
* Headers: {'User-Agent': 'python-requests/2.22.0', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate', 'Accept': '*/*', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Cookie': 'JSESSIONID=648854D9548288ED66E65A6A33E0D9A7', 'Content-Length': '174', 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Basic am9zZXBoOmZva3VzMjAyMCQk'}
* Body: b'[{"key": "dc.contributor.author", "value": "Mustermann, Max"}, {"key": "dc.title", "value": "API Test"}, {"key": "dc.description.abstract", "value": "Abstract of the paper"}]'

And this is the error I get as a response:

Can not deserialize instance of org.dspace.rest.common.Item out of START_ARRAY token
 at [Source: org.glassfish.jersey.message.internal.ReaderInterceptorExecutor$UnCloseableInputStream@438298c; line: 1, column: 1]

Best regards,

Carlos
