I'm using REST to get data from a SharePoint library to display using the DataTables jQuery API. Everything is working fine, but I've got one stubborn field in this library that REST isn't able to grab.
The name of the field is "For", but the internal name is _x0046_or1 (not sure why, I didn't create the library). I've double-checked that this is the correct internal name using REST and by checking the code for my library view in Designer.
So using my REST call:
/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('SAS2')/items?$select=_x0046_or1&$top=5000
And I get back:
The field or property '_x0046_or1' does not exist.
Anybody have any suggestions for a different way to reference this field that the REST api might recognize?
I did as Rohit suggested in the comments, and made the REST call without the select. It turns out that the actual internal name of the For field was "OData__x0046_or1". No idea why.
Thanks for the helpful suggestion, Rohit!
In SharePoint 2013 if you name a field with 3 or less chars and then end it with a number, SP will rename the internal name.

I have done everything needed to setup webservices on my moodle 3.11 instance, including roles/capabilities/user. However sending a test request always gives {
"exception": "dml_missing_record_exception",
"errorcode": "invalidrecord",
"message": "Can't find data record in database table external_functions."
}
The URL to access it is of the format https:///moodle/webservice/rest/server.php?wsfunction=core_user_create_user&service=mymoodleusermanage&moodlewsrestformat=json&users[0][username]=ABC&users[0][firstname]=VPTest&users[0][lastname]=None&users[0][email]=mail#xxx.com&users[0][password]=xxxxx&users[0][auth]=manual&wstoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The service parameter is correctly set to the shortname of the service. Does the service have to be defined anywhere additionally apart from Site Administration->Server->Web Services->External Services->Custom Services
Thanks for any help that can be given
The answer is very simple - you are trying to call a non-existent webservice function (hence the error message about being unable to find the database record for the function in the external_functions database table).
If you look in the Moodle code: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/lib/db/services.php#L1717 you will see that the function is called core_user_create_users - with an "s" at the end of it.
If you add that extra "s" into the URL parameters you are using, then it should work.
https:///moodle/webservice/rest/server.php?wsfunction=core_user_create_user&service=mymoodleusermanage&moodlewsrestformat=json&users[0][username]=ABC&users[0][firstname]=VPTest&users[0][lastname]=None&users[0][email]=mail#xxx.com&users[0][password]=xxxxx&users[0][auth]=manual&wstoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
you must change username all character small letter [username]=ABC like this [username]=abc and add s wsfunction=core_user_create_users
I am trying to retrieve a value from a HTTP web service call in sharepoint designer. This should be simple. the Rest query is simple, and always returns only a single value:
https://Site.sharepoint.com/sites/aSiteName/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('MyListTitle')/items/?$select=Title&$top=1
In the Sharepoint Designer workflow, I'm setting the required Accept and Content-type header to the value of "application/json;odata=verbose
I am unable to get the value of the "Title" field that is returned by the call.
when I execute the REST query in the browser, I get the following data returned:
{"d":{"results":[{"__metadata":{"id":"af9697fe-9340-4bb5-9c75-e43e1fe20d30","uri":"https://site.sharepoint.com/sites/aSiteName/_api/Web/Lists(guid'6228d484-4250-455c-904d-6b7096fee573')/Items(5)","etag":"\"1\"","type":"SP.Data.MyListName"},"Title":"John Doe"}]}}
I've tried dozens of variations of the dictionary 'query', but they always return blank.
I'm using the 'get an item from a dictionary' action in SP Designer, using item name or path values like:
d/results(0)/Title
d/Title
d/results/Title
and literally dozens of other variations - but it always returns blank.
I'm writing the raw response from the webRequest to the list for debugging, and it shows the value like this:
{"odata.metadata":"https:\/\/site.sharepoint.com\/sites\/aSiteName\/_api\/$metadata#SP.ListData.MyListTitle&$select=Title","value":[{"odata.type":"SP.Data.MyListTitle","odata.id":"616ed0ed-ef1d-405b-8ea5-2682d9662b0a","odata.etag":"\"1\"","odata.editLink":"Web\/Lists(guid'6228d484-4250-455c-904d-6b7096fee573')\/Items(5)","Title":"John Doe"}]}
I must be doing something simple that is wrong?
Using "d/results(0)/Title" is right. Check the steps in article below to create a workflow.
CALLING THE SHAREPOINT 2013 REST API FROM A SHAREPOINT DESIGNER WORKFLOW
It working fine in my test workflow.
I faced the exact same issue. In my case the reason was that in the API call, the header was not set properly.
As you would have noticed many times, that if you type the variables inline when creating the "Call Http Web service" action, those might not get set properly. The surest way is to open the properties and set from there. In my case when i opened the properties i found that RequestHeaders was not set. Once i set it from there, i got the desired results.
Hope this helps to someone in future, this question being unanswered till now!!
tried dump those json called from sharepoint workflow into a list. Sometimes you'll get a different format than when you called that from browser. I experienced this issue when calling API projectserver (project online). When I called it using servistate (chrome extension) it returns d/results, but when I dump the value into the list I got value and yet I used same request header value.
I'm trying to create an Epic Issue in JIRA using the REST API.
There is a field called "Epic Name", which is required and locked.
When I submit the following JSON
URL: https://jira:443/jira/rest/api/latest/issue
{"fields":{"project":{"key":"TEST"},"issuetype":{"name":"Epic"},"summary":"TestSummary","Epic Name":"TestName"}}
The Response is:
Http Error : 400{"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"Epic Name":"Field 'Epic Name' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown."}}
What is wrong, since in the screen Epic Name is there and required (obviously, since it is a required attribute). What could be the problem?
Thanks
The problem is not that the field is not on the screen but that for JIRA API, the field name Epic Name is invalid/unknown. The actual ID of that field is customfield_10016 which you have to put in the query. The value should be the Issue Key for that specific Epic instead of just a name.
{
"fields": {
//other data
"customfield_10016": "PROJECTKEY-69"
}
}
I tried with customfield_10016 but it didn't work for me.
I have researched more about the same and got to know the custom field may differ for JIRA instance.
We can get custom field for our JIRA insatnce and project using below API and use it - http://<JIRA_URL>/rest/api/2/issue/createmeta?projectKeys=<ProjectKey>&issuetypeNames=<IssueType>&expand=projects.issuetypes.fields
I am trying to make some batch operations for custom objects that I have created oat Open graph API. I have seen tons of examples for feeds or images, but I still do not know if Facebook supports batch operations for custom objects. For example, I'd like to know if a batch operation for the following objects would work:
batch=[
{:method=>"post", :relative_url=>"/me/tfgtopquiz:win", "profile"=>"users/1/victories"}
{:method=>"post", :relative_url=>"/me/tfgtopquiz:guessed", "triviaquestion"=>"questions/1"} ]
Notice that I have custom types (triviaquestion). It seems that if I pass it as a parameter facebook ignores it, and I would need this information. After the request, I get this error message:
"The action you're trying to publish is invalid because it does not specify any reference objects. At least one of the following properties must be specified: triviaquestion."
I really tried to define the type "triviaquestion", but it looks like Facebook ignored it iside batch JSON.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
After some time I realized that I should send the JSON in other format:
{:access_token=>"MY_ACCESS_TOKEN",
:requests=>
[{:action=>"guessed", :object_type=>"triviaquestion", :object_url=>"URL"},
{:action=>"guessed", :object_type=>"triviaquestion", :object_url=>"URL"},
{:action=>"guessed", :object_type=>"triviaquestion", :object_url=>"URL"},
{:action=>"play", :object_type=>"correct_answer", :object_url=>"URL"}]}
Thanks!
I have downloaded swagger ui and experimenting it locally. It works fine in scenarios like "path", "body" , and "query" . But most of my use cases use rest comments.
i.e /resourcePath/;tags
URI to retrieve the tags of a specific resource.
When I try this the the UI gets jumbled when adding the semi colon and malformed the sorted UI and cannot go beyond this.
So is this a known limitation ? Is there a workaround to accomplish this target ?
Appreciate any input to this..
Swagger is expecting you to specify path params in curly-brackets like {tags} and query params as comma-delimited, such as id=1,2,3,4. Some frameworks use semi-colons as delimiters but swagger likes commas.
Can you describe more what you're looking to do, with a more concrete example? Per design, comments on the api belong in the description and notes fields for operations, please see swagger-core wiki for details.
The Swagger codegen project has a validator which can be used to verify that your spec is properly formatted.
