405 Error when trying to use the Send Message API endpoint

Question

I'm using Python's request package with the following code:

APIKEY = "XXX"
url = 'https://services.kommunicate.io/rest/ws/message/v2/send HTTP/1.1'

myobj = {
    'groupId': "xxx",
    'message':'Hello',
    "fromUserName":'yyy'
        }

headers = {
    'Api-Key':APIKEY,
}
response = requests.post(url, data = myobj,headers=headers)

And is giving me the following error:

'{"status":"error","errorResponse":[{"errorCode":"AL-MA-01","description":"method not allowed","displayMessage":"Request method \\u0027POST\\u0027 not supported"}],"generatedAt":1591385905404}'

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

There are few issues with the code.
1. HTTP/1.1 is not part of the URL.
2. In requests package, in order to pass a JSON to server, there are multiple ways to do.

a. Use json parameter provided in requests.post method for sending JSON data to the server, something like below code:

import requests

APIKEY = "XXX"
url = 'https://services.kommunicate.io/rest/ws/message/v2/send'
myobj = {
    'groupId': "xxx",
    'message': 'Hello',
    "fromUserName": 'yyy'
}

headers = {'Api-Key': APIKEY}

response = requests.post(url, json=myobj, headers=headers)

b. In Headers add "Content-Type": "application/json" and then first dump json data to string and then send it to server.

import requests
import json 

APIKEY = "XXX"
url = 'https://services.kommunicate.io/rest/ws/message/v2/send'
myobj = {
    'groupId': "xxx",
    'message': 'Hello',
    "fromUserName": 'yyy'
}

headers = {
    'Api-Key': APIKEY,
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

myobj = json.dumps(myobj)

response = requests.post(url, data=myobj, headers=headers)
