08/04/2022, 1:39 PMDoes anyone have experience using the SuiteTalk REST API to transform a PO to a Vendor Bill? I'd like to set field values of the Vendor Bill, but get "Invalid Content" errors no matter how I try to format the JSON in the request.

08/04/2022, 3:41 PMI had tried a few ways, based on how I had sent other post requests
Copy code
transform_json = {
"vendorBill" : {
"fields" : {
"dueDate" : "8/26/2022"
}
}
} Copy code
transform_json = {
"fields" : {
"dueDate" : "8/26/2022"
}
} Copy code
transform_json = {
"dueDate" : "8/26/2022",
} Copy code
transform_json = {
"vendorBill" : {
"fields" : {
"dueDate" : "8/26/2022"
}
}
} Copy code
transform_json = {
"dueDate" : "2022-08-26",
}b

08/04/2022, 3:48 PMI've been using this python library that puts a lot of the request together for me so I'm not sure if I can get the whole request body.

08/04/2022, 3:49 PMPutting together the authentication to make requests was another thing I couldn't find good docs on

battk
08/04/2022, 3:50 PMsend the post to httpbin instead
battk
08/04/2022, 3:50 PMthe response will contain the request body
j
John Phillips
08/04/2022, 3:59 PMsorry, I've never used httpbin before. Do I need to put together an authentication header or just send the transform_json I'm trying to use in a post to httpbin.org?

battk
08/04/2022, 4:02 PMchange the url you are using to http://httpbin.org/post
battk
08/04/2022, 4:02 PMlog the response body you receive
battk
08/04/2022, 4:02 PMif you are extra cautious, you wouldnt send the authentication details, but TBA is resistant to replay attacks
battk
08/04/2022, 4:03 PMso you can leave it if you want

08/04/2022, 4:05 PMokay, thanks. I just sent it the transform_json and the text of the response is:
Copy code

"files": {},
"form": {},
"headers": {

battk
08/04/2022, 4:10 PMyour library is sending it as a json string
battk
08/04/2022, 4:10 PMit looks like your objects was stringified twice
battk
