Hi All, I am having an issue with creating new entries into my airtable. I am able to GET the data from my airtable with the axios code:

getTable() {

axios.defaults.headers = {

Authorization: ‘Bearer key$$$$$#@@@@’

}

axios.get(‘api.airtablenolinksallowed/v0/applHDrandomTWT/tasks’)

.then(response => {

console.log(response);

})

},


However, when I try to post to the same table I am getting the error: POST api.airtablenolinksallowed/v0/applxDrxrandomzTWT/tasks 422 (Unprocessable Entity)


Here is my axios for post:

postTable() {

axios.defaults.headers = {

‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,

Authorization: ‘Bearer key$$####$$$#’

}

let data = {};

data.Name = ‘TestName’;

data.Notes = ‘ASXXZSXSZX’

console.log(data);

axios.post(‘api.airtablenolinksallowed/v0/applHDrrandomTWT/tasks’, data)

.then(response => {

console.log(response);

})

},


What am I doing wrong with my axios post?

I figured it out! I wasn’t passing the correct array.

I switched to

let Name = {Name:‘name’};

let Notes = {Notes:‘MoreNotes’};

let data = {

fields: {

Name:‘name’,

Notes:‘MoreNotes’

}};

And it worked!

Hi,


I am having the same problem but I’m coding in python, I am having a difficulty in applying the solution you posted above and I understand it might be a programming language issue.


Here is the code I have:


_airtable = airtable.Airtable(‘XXXXXX’, ‘XXXXXX’)


print(_airtable.get(“Test”)) #get data from table

try:

data = {

‘Name’: ‘Mxolisi’,

‘Notes’: ‘This Python Will swallow you’,

‘Attachment’: ‘1_U2MpZQXPI-RW2JASIoeaFQ.png’

}

_create = _airtable.create(‘Test’, data)

print(_create)

except Exception as e:

print("Exception Caught : ", e)

finally:

print(“Done!!”)

Hi @Mxolisi_Ngwenya

I am still a new beginner at this but I believe your issue might be similar to mine. You currently have


data = { ‘Name’: ‘Mxolisi’, }

but I believe what you need is


data = { fields: { ‘Name’: ‘Mxolisi’ }}

Let me know if that works!

As per @Chris_Grim, the data object has to have a fields object within it, e.g.:


data = {

    "fields": {

        "Field1": name,

        "Field2": number,

        "Field3": role

        }

    }

Additionally, if you are trying to add an attachment to a record via the API note that it accepts an array of objects (even if there is only one attachment), so you data object might be something like:


"fields": {

    "Attachment": [

      {

        "url": "https://mysite.com/images/myimage.png"

      }

    ]

  }
