REST API Spaces

2020-09-10

Hi,

I am trying to update supplier (CUVc) via REST API (PATCH)

I have problem with white spaces and diacritical marks (eg. ą ę ż)

Below there is powershell command which I use to update CUVc rekord.

Space:
(curl "http://127.0.0.1:1300/api/F01/CUVc/10065?set_field.InvAddr0=street abc" -Method PATCH -Credential $cred -ContentType "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8").RawContent

Space replaced by %20
(curl "http://127.0.0.1:1300/api/F01/CUVc/10065?set_field.InvAddr0=street%20abc" -Method PATCH -Credential $cred -ContentType "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8").RawContent

Here is Hansa answer:

Hi J,

In general URL's cannot handle spaces. It replaces space with corresponding character in this case %.

You would need to URLEncode() special characters.

url = "http://127.0.0.1:1300/api/F01/CUVc/10065?set_field.InvAddr0=" & URLEncode("street abc");

If you are receiving back street%abc as pictured in your screenshot, then you need to URLDecode that string to get "street abc" in Standard ERP.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Richard Saunders
