Hi everyone,
I’m trying to send JSON data to an API using JavaScript, but I keep running into a 422 Unprocessable Entity error. I’ve checked the request headers and payload format, and I’m not sure what’s going wrong. From what I understand so far, this error usually points to issues with the data structure or how it’s being interpreted by the API. While reading up on it, I found this source that breaks down the 422 status code and helped me get a better understanding of what might be causing it. Still, I’d like to hear from others—how do you usually approach and fix this?
Hi @davissmith1224307
As far as my knowledge goes, the 422 error might be caused by not using the HTTP Bearer class available as mentioned in this Github post.
Otherwise, it might also be caused by the fact that you are trying to send a JSON file but the content type for the request headers expect a different format ( "content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") as such:
response = client.post("/auth/token", data={"username": "johndoe", "password": "secret", "grant_type": "password"},
headers={"content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"})
I would advise to take a look at what type of format does your request headers expect you to be sending.
If you have any other questions, let me know!
Kind Regards,
Nik
