Getting 401 / 406 error from node creation with authentication

Question

I am trying to create nodes with authentication with the services module enabled. So far I have done following things:

• Get services token from http://localhost/drupal/services/session/token.

• User authentication: I did trigger login web service and in return I got session name, id and complete user information. I called this web service by passing X-CSRF-Token which I got from previous web service. (http://localhost/drupal/myendpoint/user/login.json`)

• Node creation: I want to create article content type node. I am passing fields values in JSON and CSRF token and session information as following. (http://localhost/drupal/myrest/node.create)

  Body (application/x-www-form-urlencoded)

  {
     "title":"Created through service",
     "type":"article",
     "body": {
        "value": "<p>test</p>\n",
        "format": "filtered_html"
     }
  }
  

  Headers

  • X-CSRF-Token: bla bla bla

  • `SESSion name: bla bla bla

The response I received from node create web service is the following:

Status Code: 406

Could you please let me know what I am doing incorrect while triggering node create web service?

Answer 1

Change the URL to http://localhost/drupal/myrest/node, the application type to application/json, and the request method to POST; then, it should work.

Answer 2

After digging much I found solution by my self:

I will post step by step process to create a node with authentication.

---

Step 1: Get initial token.

    URL: `http://localhost/drupal/services/session/token`

    Method: GET

---

Step 2: Login

    URL: `http://localhost/drupal/myrest/user/login.json`

    Method: POST

    Content-Type: application/json

    Request payload - request parameter:

    X-CSRF-Token: <Token received from first web service response>

---

Step 3: Create node.

    URL: `http://localhost/drupal/myrest/node`

    Method: POST

    Content-Type: application/json

    Raw body:

    `{
          "title": "Sample post",
          "type": "article"
     }`

     Custom headers - request parameters:

     <session_name_value_received_from_previous_service_response>: <session_id_value_received_from_previous_service_response>

     Example: 

     SESS6a4470a2012aa23a7f83ea20ed1df766: KS43Muo_odeHA1KPI_kREWP6oK

     X-CSRF-Token: <token_value_received_from_previous_service_response>

     Example:

     X-CSRF-Token: JALApVoib7bGSFFh-59Saj9z5pT8q_5kP9BrHgGIO3E

---

And I am getting successful response:

{"nid":"4","uri":"http://localhost/drupal/myrest/node/4"}

Thanks all, please continue this thread if you face such issues. I will try to help.
