I am trying to create a new Square user, but am having problems. I was able to use Unirest to GET a Square customer list at the https://connect.squareup.com/v2/customers
endpoint, but haven't been able to successfully POST.
const unirest = require('unirest');
const access_token = 'sq-123...';
var createCustomer =
unirest.post('https://connect.squareup.com/v2/customers')
.headers({
"Accept": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer " + access_token})
.send({
"email_address": "[email protected]"
})
.end(function (createCustomer) {
console.log(createCustomer);
});
The response returns
raw_body:
'{"errors":[{
"category":"INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR",
"code":"BAD_REQUEST",
"detail":"invalid character \'e\' looking for beginning of value (line 1, character 1)"}]}' }
I also tried using .field
instead of .send
, which returned
raw_body: '{"errors":
[{"category":"INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR",
"code":"BAD_REQUEST",
"detail":"invalid character \'-\' in numeric literal (line 1, character 2)"}]}' }
Is it possible to create a customer using Unirest and Node? If so, where am I going wrong?
The following code will POST
const unirest = require('unirest');
const access_token = 'sq-123...';
var createCustomer =
unirest.post('https://connect.squareup.com/v2/customers')
.headers({
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer " + access_token})
.send({
"email_address": "[email protected]"
})
.end(function (createCustomer) {
console.log(createCustomer);
});
