Shipment creation - 400 bad request

1

Hi,
I’m trying to create a shipment but get a 400 bad request error. The payload is as below. Can someone pls guide as to what is bad in the request.

https://api.veeqo.com/shipments
payload={ “shipment”: { “tracking_number_attributes”: { “tracking_number”: “2Y0000047095” }, “carrier_id”: 3, “notify_customer”: true, “update_remote_order”: false }, “allocation_id”: 13911087, “order_id”: “18926546”}

Hey,

Please can you check the type of quotes that you are using. I manged to create a shipment in my account using the same request but ensure the quotes are not curly quotes. You can use a tool such as JSONLint to validate your JSON.

The request below worked for me:

 {
 	"shipment": {
 		"tracking_number_attributes": {
 			"tracking_number": "2Y0000047095ssss"
 		},
 		"carrier_id": 3,
 		"notify_customer": true,
 		"update_remote_order": false
 	},
 	"allocation_id": 13911130,
 	"order_id": "18926671"
 }

For clarity the difference is between curly quotes: “” and straight quotes: ""

It might be the case that the forum has automatically changed the quotes in your request. In order to display a block of code use three back ticks before and after your code. EG ```

If that is the case, they I don’t know what was wrong with your request as it worked for me.

Thanks,

what is strange is that the payload works fine if i dont send the tracking info…wondering what is wrong with that snippet?
“tracking_number_attributes”: {
“tracking_number”: “2Y0000047095”
},

I’m using the same quotes in the other parts and they are working fine…
Can you possibly check what was wrong with this one?

Does the tracking number already exist in Veeqo?
Tracking number must be unique.
