Completed 2023-01-10: Deprecation of string request to the create connections endpoint

· 2 min read
Max Clayton Clowes

On January 10, 2023 we will update the structure of the request body for requests to the POST /companies/{companyId}/connections endpoint to use a JSON object instead of a raw text string.

To use the updated request body before this date, enable the relevant feature button in the Portal.

Action required Update the body of any requests to the POST /companies/{companyId}/connections endpoint from a string value to the JSON object as specified below:

{
  "platformKey": "string",
}

Currently, the platform key in the request body is entered as a raw text string. For example:

“platformKey"

Expected impact if no action is taken​

A POST request body that is not a JSON object containing a platformKey property will be rejected with the following error:


{
    "statusCode": 400,
    "service": "PublicApi",
    "error": "Push object DataConnectionArgs must be provided",
    "correlationId": "string",
    "validation": {
        "errors": [],
        "warnings": [],
        "_errors": [],
        "_warnings": [],
        "_internals": []
    },
    "canBeRetried": "Unknown",
    "detailedErrorCode": 0
}

Further information​

Legacy request body for POST /companies/{companyId}/connections endpoint; available only for clients onboarded prior to September 1, 2022. This model is being replaced on January 10, 2023.

New request body for POST /companies/{companyId}/connections endpoint; available for clients onboarded from September 1, 2022. This model will be implemented for all other clients on January 10, 2023.


{

}
