Task update API

Avatar

Hi!

I'm working on an integration with a NodeJS ms. I'd like to update the description but I'm bit confused.

Following the docs, I read that all the params are URL Params. This lead all the request to fail, status 400, with the server answering that parameter 'description' is not allowed.

So, I made a request that match the CURL example given in the docs.

I got 200 with every kind of body submitted but I saw that nothing has changed in the response body. 

So, how to properly consume this API?

Valerio Como maybe you could paste your CURL request here (without the token) to see if we could spot any issue with it?

Usually, the issue might be missing or wrong url encoding.

 

You could also try to use the new web-base swagger style api page to test out your request:

https://developers.wrike.com/apiv4-schema-reference/#operations-tag-Tasks

and see if it works on the web page itself and then you could compare the generated CURL with yours.

this is my first test

curl --location --request PUT 'app-eu.wrike.com/api/v4/tasks/IEAEPV5EKRSWT5WH?description=hi' \
--header 'Authorization: ••••••' \
 
I got a 400 with this response payload
 
{
"errorDescription":"Parameter 'description' is not allowed",
"error":"invalid_request"
}
 
So, I did a second test. I tried sending a body, like most PUT does.
 
curl --location --request PUT 'app-eu.wrike.com/api/v4/tasks/IEAEPV5EKRSWT5WH' \
--header 'Content-Type: text/plain' \
--header 'Authorization: ••••••' \
--data 'description=hi'
 
and a third test
 
curl --location --request PUT 'app-eu.wrike.com/api/v4/tasks/IEAEPV5EKRSWT5WH' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: ••••••' \
--data '{ "description": "hi"}'
 
In both cases I got 200 but nothing is changed in my task.
What's wrong? What's the right way to consume this API?
