HTTP 404 POST Users/upsert

General
1

Using JS fetch I get user
“https://api.backendless.com/FF55A111-06AF-7EB1-FFDE-B5B62760CA00/[secretkey]/data/Users/find”

then I do user.PAID = true

then i try update

POST https://api.backendless.com/FF55A111-06AF-7EB1-FFDE-B5B62760CA00/[secretkey]/api/data/Users/upsert
returns 404 (Not Found)

HTTP error! status: 404

Yet shortly afterwards the Users table in database gets updated with the POST value(s)
idk why the 404 the console log reports!?

here is my JS Code… response.ok returns false

async function updateUserViaPost(user,_id,_hidden) {
try {
user.PAID = true;
const response = await fetch(
“https://api.backendless.com/“+_id+”/“+_hidden+”/api/data/Users/upsert”,
{
mode: “cors”,
method: “POST”,
headers: { “Content-Type”: “application/json” },
body: JSON.stringify(user),
}
);

if (!response.ok) {
    //Handle errors.
    console.error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    return null;
}

Hi @JesterOC

It looks like the issue is with the HTTP method used for the request.

According to the Upsert Single Object documentation, the upsert operation should be performed using the PUT method instead of POST.

Try changing your request to:

PUT https://api.backendless.com/FF55A111-06AF-7EB1-FFDE-B5B62760CA00/[secretkey]/api/data/Users/upsert

Let me know if you need any further help!

Regards,
Viktor

it failed with 404… but backendless database updated a few seconds later with new PUT values in user… same as POST

https://xxxx.backendless.app/api/data/[table_name]/upsert

is what the REST docs said…

so i had

https://api.backendless.com/“+_id+”/“+_hidden+”/api/data/Users/upsert

but my previous call to get the user was already working… so i has
https://api.backendless.com/“+_id+”/“+_hidden+”/data/Users/find
to do that.
and i noticed it does not have api/ before data/Users/find
so i removed that and now it works great…
