Hello, I´m new using airtable.

I´m developing a Labview-based software for reading information from airtable and writing information to airtable. 

I have no problem with reading from airtable. I´m using the functions in labview for inserting the headers with Authorization, then I encode the URL for retrieving the information I want, and use the Get function. This point has no problem.

The problem is that I´m not being able to create a new record in the table. Basically, I´m following the same flow as before. I´m inserting the header with the Authorization, then I´m generating the URL with the Base ID  and the Table name, then I´m using the function POST which has as inputs the URL and the data to send to the airtable.

The data I´m sending is this one:

{"fields":{"Test Number":67,"CH - Pass / Fail":"Pass"}}

 

As answer I receive the following header:

and the following  body:

{"error":{"type":"INVALID_REQUEST_UNKNOWN","message":"Invalid request: parameter validation failed. Check your request data."}}

I tried to find a solution by myself on the internet, but I had not been successful in this task. I have been trying for three days an nothing. 

Could somebody please give me a hint about what is happening and how could I solve this problem?

Thanks

I solved the issue. Will post the problem here in case it could be helpful for someone.

The problem in my case is that I was using the header 

"Content-Type: application/json"

And I should be instead the header

"Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8"

Now it is working properly
