使用Python包装器PyPOdio在Podio中创建项目

Question

I am unable to create an item in PODIO using PYPODIO2 wrapper and the API. I have been able to successfully authorise using OAuth App Authentication. Below is the snippet of code that i am trying to execute but i run into an error

attributes={"fields": {"module-serial": serial_number,
                       "contract-manufacturer-name-2":"Extel",
                       "module-number-and-name":{ 
                                "status": "active",
                                "text": "BD201: Main Board Extended Build",
                                "id": 2},
                       "category":{
                               "status": "active",
                               "text": "Pass",
                               "id": 1}
                       }
            }

pcbapp.Item.create(17174065, attributes)

Error: pypodio2.transport.TransportException: TransportException({'server': 'nginx', 'date': 'Tue, 07 Feb 2017 05:49:05 GMT', 'content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8', 'content-length': '259', 'connection': 'keep-alive', 'x-rate-limit-remaining': '989', 'x-rate-limit-limit': '1000', 'x-podio-auth-ref': 'app_17174065', 'x-podio-request-id': 'yUWqV1ao', 'strict-transport-security': 'max-age=31535999', 'status': '400'}): {"error_parameters":{},"error_detail":null,"error_propagate":false,"request":{"url":"http://api.podio.com/item/app/17174065/","query_string":"","method":"POST"},"error_description":"Invalid value null (null): Not a valid option","error":"invalid_value"}

Error description: Invalid value null (null): Not a valid option

Answer 1

Most likely one of your fields is formatted wrong way. You should try fill them one by one to find problematic one, and then try different formats for last one.

I would recommend you to start with category fields module-number-and-name and category and pass values like:

{
 ...........
 # passing array of id's only, without text and status
 "module-number-and-name" : [2], 
 "category" :               [1], 
 .........
}
