How to post data to a mapquest table - mapquest

Question

I'm trying to post data to a mapquest table and I've done everything according to their API
Here is my json:
{
"tableName": "mqap.jZ3uoAVablablabla_reported_points",
"append": true,
"returnResults": true,
"rows": [
[
{
"mqap_geography": "POINT (-123.3141509 48.4647675)",
"date": "2016-03-13T02:19:09.674Z",
"email": "anna#gmail.com",
"latitude": "48.47542496514236",
"longitude": "-123.37663650512695",
"message": "ss",
"user": "a"
}
]
]
}
Here is a screenshot of the table
And this is the response I get in Postman
{
"failures": [
{
"reason": "Either no latitude/longitude was provided, or the other information was insufficient for geocoding at or near line #0 of input.",
"row": ""
}
],
"append": true,
"returnResults": true,
"totalRows": 1,
"tableName": "mqap.jblablabla_reported_points",
"tableSize": {
"raw": 8192,
"readable": "8 KB"
},
"data": {
"rows": []
},
"failureCount": 1,
"rowCount": 0,
"info": {
"statusCode": 0,
"copyright": {
"text": "© 2015 MapQuest, Inc.",
"imageUrl": "http://api.mqcdn.com/res/mqlogo.gif",
"imageAltText": "© 2015 MapQuest, Inc."
},
"messages": []
}
}
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The geography column should be in the table by default when the table is created: mqap_geography. This column is populated depending on information in other columns depending on their data type: Geography, [Latitude, Longitude], [Street, City, StateProvince, PostalCode, County, Country], and FullAddress. The Latitude, Longitude columns in the table above are type String so they won't populate the Geography column.

Answer 2

Two things I was missing:
The database NEEDS to have a geography object. So I added a latlong Geography object that I didn't end up using.
The format of the JSON should've been the following:
{
"tableName": "mqap.jZ3uoAVablablabla_reported_points",
"append": true,
"returnResults": true,
"rows": [
[
{"name":"user","value":user},
{"name":"email","value":email},
{"name":"date","value":date},
{"name":"message","value":message},
{"name":"latitude","value":latitude},
{"name":"longitude","value"longitude},
{"name":"latlong","value":"POINT(" + parseFloat(longitude) + " " + parseFloat(latitude) +")"}
]
]
}
