Return Request Body from cURL request

Good Day all,

not sure what i am missing but finding it impossible to return even a simple JSON from a Curl Request.

for instance if i send a cURL Request

curl -X POST “https://victorrose.backendless.app/api/services/TractorTracking/UpdateTracking” -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d “{"Name":"Test Value"}”

and have the service simply do the following

It returns null, am i missing something obvious.

Kind Regards,
Raymond

Hi Raymond,

Have you confirmed that the method is being invoked? You could do that by adding a print block and checking for its output using Real-Time Logging.

Good Morning @mark-piller ,

Thank you for your response the Method is definitely being invoked however in no instance am i able to retrieve the body containing -d “{"Name":"Test Value"}”

returns null

returns


it seems as if the data json is either not being sent or it is not being parsed on the server side.

this is the cmd prompt i am using

C:\Users\27764\Desktop>curl -X POST “https://victorrose.backendless.app/api/services/TractorTracking/UpdateTracking” -H
“Content-Type: application/json” -d “{"Name":"Test Value"}”

Yet again not sure if i am missing anything.

KInd Regards,
Raymond

Hi @Raymond_Woodley,
Below I have attached screenshots that show how you can add a post request parameter. After which this parameter will appear in the context of this method.

Thank you @Sergey_Androsov, working as expected now.
