Custom Endpoint Coming In as Array not JSON

  • Resolved Joe Ponzio

    I registered a custom endpoint (in a class) using:

    add_action( 'rest_api_init', array( $this, 'rest_api_init' ) );
function rest_api_init(){
  register_rest_route( 'partners/v1', '/create/partner', array(
    'methods' => 'POST',
    'callback' => array( $this, 'rest_api_create_partner' ),
  ) );
}

    The POST is JSON from an ember app which validates as JSON, and has a parameter of data.

    Inside rest_api_create_partner(), I have tried to access data using both:

    $data = $request->get_param( 'data' );
$body = $request->get_body_params();

    I’m expecting data to give me id:1,name:"Company Name" but what I’m actually getting when printing to the WP DEBUG LOG is:

    [data] => Array
  (
    [0] => Array
      (
        [id] => 1
      )
        [1] => Array
      (
        [name] => Company Name
      )
    )
  )

    Is my code suspect, or the data coming over? Am I missing a step in creating this endpoint that would cause the JSON received to be decoded into an array like this?

    Can you share this JSON?

    It seems like it’s the data coming over. $request->get_param( 'data' ) should give you the array without an index, if the data is coming through without an index.

    I’m not sure if $request->get_body_params() is meant to return anything though. The correct method in your context is $request->get_json_params()

    I tried

    $get_json_params = $request->get_json_params();
write_log( '*****BEGIN POST JSON_PARAMS DATA*****' );
write_log( $get_json_params );

    …but $get_json_params doesn’t print anything. It’s empty. Does that indicate that the data being posted isn’t being read as JSON? Am I missing something?

    Thanks for your help!

    Could be. Are you including the Content-type: application/json header?

    Embarrassed to say, but…it was the way the data was coming over. The API & plugin worked as expected and we were chasing down the wrong problem. Thanks!
