Bad request, try again later. Am I doing something wrong?

[donny wals]

Hey,

I'm trying to update some properties on a tournament using javascript and the Leaguevine API.

When I do the PUT api call I get a 500: bad request response. The message in the json response says that it's the server at fault and that I should try again later. For some reason I believe that the fault is on my part. Does someone see anything wrong with the code (all the variables exist are not null/undefined)

$.ajax({

        url: config.api_url+config.tournamentID+'/',

        success: function(data) {

            if(typeof data !== 'object') {

                data = $.parseJSON(data);

            }

            

            console.log(data);

        },

        data: {

            name: "Hello name"

        },

        type: 'PUT',

        error: function(data) {

            if(typeof data !== 'object') {

                data = $.parseJSON(data);

            }

            

            console.log(data);

        },

        headers: {

            Authorization: 'bearer '+config.access_token

        }

    });

Thanks!

Hey Donny,

500 errors are always Leaguevine's fault. Even if you enter in gibberish, we should still send you back a nice 4xx error with some useful information. I'll look into our logs and figure out why we're not giving you a useful message.

That being said, our API communicates via JSON so your ajax call does need to be modified a bit in order for it to send data that Leaguevine will like.

I haven't tested this, but here are some modifications to your code (in bold) that will thoroughly specify you're using JSON as the request body as well as the fact that you are expecting it in the response. Hopefully some part of this is useful:

$.ajax({
        dataType: "json",
        data: JSON.stringify( { name: "Hello name" } ),
        contentType: "application/json",
        beforeSend: function(jqXHR, settings) {
             settings.accepts['json'] = "application/json";
        },

        url: config.api_url+config.tournamentID+'/',
        success: function(data) {
            if(typeof data !== 'object') {
                data = $.parseJSON(data);
            }
            console.log(data);
        },

        type: 'PUT',
        error: function(data) {
            if(typeof data !== 'object') {
                data = $.parseJSON(data);
            }
            console.log(data);
        },
        headers: {
            Authorization: 'bearer '+config.access_token
        }
    });
