Post via API Gives Error 422 : "type": "INVALID_REQUEST_MISSING_FIELDS",

[perry]

ERROR : {
"error": {
"type": "INVALID_REQUEST_MISSING_FIELDS",
"message": "Could not find field \"fields\" in the request body"
},

I am attempting to insert data into a simple table : 4 cols called A,B,C,D datatype of cols is the same single string.

I compose my JSON body raw as follows : 

When I execute this via Postman I get the following error : 

If I execute the CURL command the insert works fine. This is the CURL statement : 

curl -X POST https://api.airtable.com/v0/apppXXXXXXXXl5tP/nXXXable -H "Authorization: Bearer patBTXXXXXXe71" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{

"fields": {

"A": "AA",

"B": "AA",

"C": "AA",

"D": "AA"

}

}'

I have been working on this thing for 5hrs solid and cannot figure out where the issue is in regard to the JSON request body format. 

I am new to Airtable. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am at a dead end.

Best

Try changing it to body: JSON.stringify(raw) if you don't have it that way.

Thanks. How do I do that exactly ? 

Would it be : 

raw = [
{
"A": "AA",
"B": "AA",
"C": "AA",
"D": "AA"
}

]

JSON.stringify(raw)

It should be something like this:

// This function should be called to initiate the request.

async function postToAirtable() {

const data = {

records: [{

fields: {

"A": "AA",

"B": "BB",

"C": "CC",

"D": "DD"

}

}]

};

//replace your api key

const headers = new Headers({

"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR API KEY",

"Content-Type": "application/json"

});

const requestOptions = {

method: 'POST',

headers: headers,

body:JSON.stringify(data),

};

try {

// Your fetch code...replace the app and tbl with your info

const response = await fetch("https://api.airtable.com/v0/appXXXXXXX/tblXXXXXXXX", requestOptions);

// First, check if the response is OK. If not, throw an error with the response text.

if (!response.ok) {

const errorText = await response.text();

throw new Error(`HTTP error! Status: ${response.status}, Text: ${errorText}`);

}

const jsonResponse = await response.json();

console.log(jsonResponse);

} catch (error) {

console.error('There was a problem with the fetch operation:', error.message);

}

}

postToAirtable();
