Hi, 

Can you try to replace " basic" with " 1"? 

“type”: “basic”, -> “type”: “1”,

Thanks

It works for me. Thank you.

May be you can change the response message.  I mean this request is indeed a valid json object.

We’ll put in a request to change & display a more accurate message. 

Thanks

Hi Michael,
I am trying to create meeting from my cURL call, for that I am sending data as follows

$headers = array (“Content-Type: application/json”);
$json_encode = json_encode($data1);
  - here $data1 having form data which I am sending

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, “POST”);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_json);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$response = curl_exec($ch);

if I print $data_json, then I got following output

{
 “topic”:“Get test meeting creation”,
 “type”:“2”,
 “start_time”:“2018-09-21’T’17:09:00’Z”,
 “duration”:60,
 “timezone”:“Colombo, India Standard Time”,
 “password”:"",
 “agenda”:“Test”,
 “recurrence”:{
    “type”:“1”,
    “repeat_interval”:“1”,
    “weekly_days”:"""",
    “monthly_day”:"""",
    “monthly_week”:"""",
    “monthly_week_day”:"""",
    “end_times”:"""",
    “end_date_time”:""""
  },
 “settings”:{
    “host_video”:“false”,
    “participant_video”:“false”,
    “cn_meeting”:“false”,
    “in_meeting”:“false”,
    “join_before_host”:“true”,
    “mute_upon_entry”:“false”,
    “watermark”:“false”,
    “use_pmi”:“false”,
    “approval_type”:“3”,
    “registration_type”:“1”,
    “audio”:“both”,
    “auto_recording”:“none”,
    “enforce_login”:“true”
 }
}

in above code of cURL if I print $response then I got the response as
string(68) “{“code”:300,“message”:“Request Body should be a valid JSON object.”}”

Please help me for this as soon as possible.

Thanks

Hi Sachin, 

The error has something to do with your request payload. Have you tried to paste your request payload into an JSON formatter and then use it within POSTman?

Thanks
