How do I make a HTTP PUT call from XLRelease to update data in Adobe Workfront? - rest

Question

I am attempting to make an HTTP PUT request from XLRelease to update data in Adobe Workfront. I have been able to successfully login using the API client and GET data. I have also been able to successfully update data using Postman as well as using a native Python script. I am using the HttpRequest library within XLR. I am receiving the same response back in XLR as I am when successfully updating when using Postman, however, the data is not updated when using XLR.
My code is as follows:
import json
WORKFRONT_API_HOST = releaseVariables['url']
WORKFRONT_API_VERSION = releaseVariables['wfApiVersion']
WORKFRONT_API_KEY = releaseVariables['apiKey']
WORKFRONT_USERNAME = releaseVariables['wfUsername']
FI_ID = releaseVariables['target_customer_id']
newPortfolioId = releaseVariables['target_portfolio_id']
WORKFRONT_API_URL = WORKFRONT_API_HOST + WORKFRONT_API_VERSION
def wfLogin():
sessionID = ""
login_endpoint = "/login"
login_request = HttpRequest({'url': WORKFRONT_API_URL})
login_response = login_request.get(login_endpoint + "?apiKey=" + str(WORKFRONT_API_KEY).replace("u'","'") + "&username=" + WORKFRONT_USERNAME, contentType='application/json')
if login_response.getStatus() != 200:
print('# Error logging into WF\n')
print(login_response.getStatus())
print(login_response.errorDump())
sys.exit(1)
else:
json_response = json.loads(login_response.getResponse())
print ("Logged in to WF")
sessionID = json_response['data']['sessionID']
return sessionID
def wfLogout(sessionID):
logout_endpoint = "/logout"
logout_request = HttpRequest({'url': WORKFRONT_API_URL})
logout_response = logout_request.get(logout_endpoint + "?sessionID=" + sessionID, contentType='application/json')
if logout_response.getStatus() != 200:
print('# Error logging out of WF\n')
print(logout_response.getStatus())
print(logout_response.errorDump())
sys.exit(1)
else:
json_response = json.loads(logout_response.getResponse())
print ("Logged out of WF")
result = []
session_id = wfLogin()
if session_id != "":
customer_request = HttpRequest({'url': WORKFRONT_API_URL})
endpoint = '/prgm/%s?sessionID=%s&portfolioID=%s&customerID=%s' % (FI_ID, session_id, newPortfolioId, FI_ID)
jsonObj = "{}"
payload = {}
customer_response = customer_request.put(endpoint, jsonObj, contentType='application/json')
if customer_response.getStatus() != 200:
print('# Error connecting to WF\n')
print(customer_response)
print(customer_response.getStatus())
print(customer_response.errorDump())
sys.exit(1)
else:
response_json = json.loads(customer_response.getResponse())
print ("response_json: ", response_json)
#log out of current session
wfLogout(session_id)
else:
print ("No sessionID is available")
sys.exit(1)
