I am using Drupal 7 and the Services module 7.x-3.2. I am using Postman for Chrome (a http client) to test the API.

What I want to do is log in a user and create a node with the user using the Drupal service API.

I logged in the user with JSON POST request to http://example.com/api/user/login.

enter image description here

I successfully got the JSON result.

{
    "sessid": "KrZjlcY3rFr8v6iLoskcVQN9DmDWsg5yZqIjBeydEBY",
    "session_name": "SESS9fe39db36ccd7afd64e034fefa0129e1",
    "user": {
        "uid": "31",
        "name": "test_user",
        "mail": "[email protected]",
        "theme": "",
        "signature": "",
        "signature_format": "filtered_html",
        "created": "1352985941",
        "access": "1352991170",
        "login": 1352991510,
        "status": "1",
        "timezone": "",
        "language": "",
        "picture": null,
        "init": "[email protected]",
        "data": false,
        "roles": {
            "2": "authenticated user"
        },
        "rdf_mapping": {
            "rdftype": [
                "sioc:UserAccount"
            ],
            "name": {
                "predicates": [
                    "foaf:name"
                ]
            },
            "homepage": {
                "predicates": [
                    "foaf:page"
                ],
                "type": "rel"
            }
        }
    }
}

Then I tried to create an article via the API by sending the JSON POST request. (The user has the permission to create Article nodes.)

enter image description here

I got a 401 Unauthorized response.

I guess I need to include the session cookie information to send the POST request, to create a node.

I have the session information previously returned.

"sessid": "KrZjlcY3rFr8v6iLoskcVQN9DmDWsg5yZqIjBeydEBY",
"session_name": "SESS9fe39db36ccd7afd64e034fefa0129e1",

How can I utilize it to make a successful JSON POST request for creating a node?

{
   "title": "Just another drupal Post",
   "type": "Article"
}

notice no comma after the type:article tag so that your json works.

Hope this will help you,

  • To make the HTTP requests, Im using the Firefox add-on POSTER.

    enter image description here

    {
      "type" : "article",
      "title" : "Test article with language",
      "language" : "und"
    }
  • If node is created successfully you will get a response with a link.

    enter image description here

  • Examples

    {
      "type": "article",
      "title": "Test article",
      "body": { 
        "und": [{ 
          "value": "test body!"
         }]
      },
      "language" : "und"
    }
    
    {
       "title":"Review",
       "type":"establishment_review",
       "field_establishment":[
          {
             "nid":{
                "nid":"[nid:26686]"
             }
          }
       ],
       "field_fivestar_value":[
          {
             "rating":"20",
             "target":"0"
          }
       ],
       "field_review":[
          {
             "value":"comments about the restaurant"
          }
       ]
    }

You need to set cookie="sessionname=sessionid" value in headers, where sessionname comes from the endpoint/user/login URL.
