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"


      }


    ]


  }
