custom date field always return invalid - zendesk

I have a custom date field which I'm trying to update via Ruby API and I always get the same response:
[{"description"=>"PREMIUM STARTS AT: is invalid", "error"=>"InvalidValue", "ticket_field_id"=>xxxxxxxxx, "ticket_field_type"=>"FieldDate"}]}
I'm sending the date as follows: "2017-01-17T13:54:51Z"
I've tried also as UTC, got the same response. Which is the correct way to send this date?

Yes, date format should be in "yyyy-MM-dd" format. it will work for sure
Like
"custom_fields": [{"id": 46990467,"value":"2017-04-01"}]}}'

This is the API call I made that worked
/api/v2/tickets/12058.json -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{"ticket": {"status": "open",
"custom_fields": [{"id": 46990467,"value":"2017-04-01"}]}}' -X PUT

Cumulocity - Send Measurement/Alarm/Event using external ID via HTTP

I've been recently exploring Cumulocity and managed to use the external ID to send data (measurements/alarms/events) via MQTT. Its well documented and pretty straight forward.
But I cant find how to send data (measurement/alarm/event) using ExternalID instead of source.
For example, here is how POST of a measurement looks like if you know ClientID of device:
curl -X POST \
https://myTenant.cumulocity.com/measurement/measurements \
-H 'Accept: application/vnd.com.nsn.cumulocity.measurement+json' \
-H 'Authorization: Basic mytoken' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"c8y_TemperatureMeasurement": {
"T": {
"value": 25,
"unit": "C" }
},
"time":"2019-03-07T10:03:14.000+11:00",
"source": {
"id":"1234567" },
"type": "c8y_TemperatureMeasurement"
}'
Is there a way to replace that "source": {"id":"1234567" }, with external ID?
What would the request look like?
As of today, this is not possible:
Instead you have to first convert the externalID to the source id once (e.g. when the device is booted its done as first actions). Afterwards send all requests (e.g. POSTs to create measurements/alarms/events) using this retrieved sourceID.
This is also described in the Device SDK for HTTP here: https://cumulocity.com/guides/device-sdk/rest#step-1-check-if-the-device-is-already-registered .
Thanks for the good feedback on the documentation!

How to take data in google sheet script via POST request in JSON format?

This question is about receiving POST request from somewhere. I'm looking for a google sheet script function that can take and handle data from the POST request in JSON format. Could you suggest any example?
The POST request is here:
https://script.google.com/macros/s/BOdirjv45Dn6FHrx_4GUguuS6NJxnSEeviMHm3HerJl4UsDBnDgfFPO/
{
"p1": "writeTitle",
"p2": [[URL]],
"p3": [[PIC_A]],
"p4": [[PIC_B]],
"p5": [[TITLE]]
}
application/json
doPost() doesn't work:
doPost(e) {
var json = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
Logger.log(json);
}
You want to retrieve the value from the request body as an object.
You have already deployed Web Apps.
If my understanding of your situation is correct, how about this modification?
Post and retrieved object:
As a sample, I used the following curl command to POST to Web Apps.
curl -L \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
-d '{"p1": "writeTitle","p2": "[[URL]]","p3": "[[PIC_A]]","p4": "[[PIC_B]]","p5": "[[TITLE]]"}' \
"https://script.google.com/macros/s/#####/exec"
When above command is run, e of doPost(e) is as follows.
{
"parameter": {},
"contextPath": "",
"contentLength": 90,
"queryString": "",
"parameters": {},
"postData": {
"type": "application/json",
"length": 90,
"contents": "{\"p1\": \"writeTitle\",\"p2\": \"[[URL]]\",\"p3\": \"[[PIC_A]]\",\"p4\": \"[[PIC_B]]\",\"p5\": \"[[TITLE]]\"}",
"name": "postData"
}
}
The posted payload can be retrieved by e.postData. From above response, it is found that the value you want can be retrieved by e.postData.contents. By the way, when the query parameter and the payload are given like as follows,
curl -L \
-H 'Content-Type:application/json' \
-d '{"p1": "writeTitle","p2": "[[URL]]","p3": "[[PIC_A]]","p4": "[[PIC_B]]","p5": "[[TITLE]]"}' \
"https://script.google.com/macros/s/#####/exec?key=value"
value can be retrieved by e.parameter or e.parameters. And the payload can be retrieved by e.postData.contents.
Modified script:
In this modified script, the result can be seen at the Stackdriver, and also the result is returned.
function doPost(e) {
var json = JSON.parse(e.postData.contents);
console.log(json);
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(json));
}
Note:
When you modified your script of Web Apps, please redeploy it as new version. By this, the latest script is reflected to Web Apps. This is an important point.

Monitoring connectivity for Slack and PagerDuty

We are using PRTG to monitor a number of internal resources, and we have set it up to alert us on a Slack channel and/or via PagerDuty (depending on severity) using their respective APIs. Considering that Slack and PagerDuty are external to us, we would also like to monitor whether our PRTG instance can access them -- basically, a form of self-monitoring or Who Watches the Watchmen?
So far the only reliable method we've found for Slack is to post an actual message to a private "testing" Slack channel, e.g. (Slack URL details redacted):
POST https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX/YYY/ZZZ
Content-Type: application/json
{ "text": " ", "channel": "#prtg-webhook-test" }
Similarly, PagerDuty's Events API appears to be POST only, and the valid actions are limited to trigger, acknowledge, and resolve:
POST https://events.pagerduty.com/v2/enqueue
Content-Type: application/json
Is there a good way to test HTTPS connectivity without posting an actual Slack message / creating an actual PagerDuty alert? I couldn't find anything in documentation for either service, or a creative way to create an appropriate sensor in PRTG.
For Slack you might rather want to make an call to the API, not to a webhook.
I would recommend using auth.test, since its one of the few methods that has no rate limit.
Also, for the whole Slack service you can see the current status on this official webpage.
For pure connectivity, you can do a POST against the Events API with an empty payload, and you'll get an error message back:
curl --location --request POST 'https://events.pd-staging.com/v2/enqueue' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{}'
{
"status": "invalid event",
"message": "Event object is invalid",
"errors": [
"'event_action' is missing or blank",
"'routing_key' must be provided in the body, or provided in the headers using 'x-routing-key'"
]
}
If you'd also like to validate your routing key, you can send an acknowledge event with a dummy dedup_key:
curl --location --request POST 'https://events.pd-staging.com/v2/enqueue' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Cookie: uid=rBGA1lymclmSzRCsAwO3Ag==' \
--data-raw '{
"routing_key": "<your_routing_key>",
"event_action": "acknowledge",
"dedup_key": "something_that_will_never_match_an_open_incident"
}'
{
"status": "success",
"message": "Event processed",
"dedup_key": "something_that_will_never_match_an_open_incident"
}
Note that this will not show up anywhere in the PagerDuty UI, but that could be what you'd want anyways.

Youtube API V3, search , publishedAfter, invalidSearchFilter

I'm just trying to make a search over youtube for my own videos that publisher after X date
However when i use publishAfter parameter, it's giving invalidSearchFilter error even of i set type parameter as video.
Error description is like this:
The request contains an invalid combination of search filters and/or restrictions. Note that you must set the type parameter to video if you set either the forContentOwner or forMine parameters to true. You must also set the type parameter to video if you set a value for the eventType, videoCaption, videoCategoryId, videoDefinition, videoDimension, videoDuration, videoEmbeddable, videoLicense, videoSyndicated, or videoType parameters.
You can reproduce this error from: https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.search.list?part=snippet&forMine=true&publishedAfter=1970-01-01T00%253A00%253A00Z&type=video&_h=11& (after login via oauth 2.0)
Any idea what can i do in this situation?
I used the link that you provided. The problem is not the date. The problem is the conflicting search restrictions that you used. To make your search work, leave the "forMine" parameter empty so it doesn't conflict with your date filters and possibly the 'q' parameter as well. Do that and it will work.
Also, you have to specify the channelID to specify it's yours. Give it a try
I am trying to work on a task to retrieve all the videos from our own channel, my problem with using forMine filter was, I was passing channelId filter alongside forMine filter (which actually does not make sense, if I am saying to get my own data then I should not pass channel id explicitly, so I blame myself for that), which was returning as an error saying that Request contains an invalid argument.
Here is what my request was when it was causing the error:
curl --location -g --request GET 'https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet,id&channelId=[Channel ID]&forMine=true&order=date&type=video&key=[API KEY]&maxResults=25' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer [ACCESS TOKEN]' \
--header 'Accept: application/json'
And this was the JSON return:
{
"error": {
"code": 400,
"message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
"errors": [
{
"message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
"domain": "global",
"reason": "badRequest"
}
],
"status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT"
}
}
As soon as I removed the channelId query parameter, the error went away.

How can I post JSON data with curl and use it in RoR?

I am building an iOS app and it needs to post to a RoR API.
To test the POST, I am running this command:
curl -d #/tmp/data localhost:3000/api/ratings
Where /tmp/data contains an array of hashes:
[ { "uid": "gilt_162929239", "rate": 1 } ]
In Ruby, params looks like this:
[1] pry(#<Api::PromotionRatingsController>)> params
=> {" { \"uid\": \"good_162929239\", \"rate\": 1 } "=>nil,
"format"=>"json",
"action"=>"create",
"controller"=>"api/ratings"}
How do I get Rails to create the array of hashes for me to iterate over with each?
Edit: I see I was missing headers.
Adding to the curl command line:
--header "Accept: application/json" --header "Content-type: application/json"
Now, here are my params:
[1] pry(#<Api::PromotionRatingsController>)> params
=> {"_json"=>[{"uid"=>"good_162929239", "rate"=>1}],
"format"=>"json",
"action"=>"create",
"controller"=>"api/ratings",
"promotion_rating"=>{"_json"=>[{"uid"=>"good_162929239", "rate"=>1}]}}
Still not right.
According to this:
if you’ve turned on config.wrap_parameters in your initializer or
calling wrap_parameters in your controller, you can safely omit the
root element in the JSON/XML parameter. The parameters will be cloned
and wrapped in the key according to your controller’s name by default.
So, my guess is that you either need to include a root element, or set config.wrap_parameters.
