I am trying to make an API call to create a credential but is failing with error “Request body is empty, or format is invalid.”
I did not modify anything except the endpoint and Token. I am not sure what mistake I am doing here. 
documentation referred # https://api.commvault.com/docs/SP32/api/cv/OpenAPI3/create-credential/

 

 

import requests
import json

url = "https://commvault.newblr.com/commandcenter/api/V4/Credential"

payload = json.dumps({
  "accountType": "CLOUD_ACCOUNT",
  "vendorType": "HITACHI_VANTARA_HCP_S3",
  "name": "HCPBucketuser01",
  "userAccount": "Y3ZidWNrZXQ",
  "password": "dc06698f0e2e75751545455899adccc3",
  "description": "API test",
  "security": {
    "owner": {
      "user": {
        "id": 0,
        "name": ""
      },
      "userGroup": {
        "id": 0,
        "name": ""
      }
    },
    "associations": [
      {
        "user": {
          "id": 0,
          "name": ""
        },
        "userGroup": {
          "id": 0,
          "name": ""
        },
        "permissions": {
          "permissionId": 0,
          "permissionName": "",
          "categoryId": 0,
          "categoryName": "",
          "type": "ALL_CATEGORIES",
          "exclude": True
        },
        "isCreatorAssociation": True
      }
    ]
  }
})
headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  'Accept': 'application/json',
  'Authtoken': 'QSDK ******'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload,  verify=False)

print(response.text)

    hello @Gaurav Shrivastava 
    i hope you are doing well ! 
     

    This error means the CV server is not receiving the payload correctly.

    Could you please check if the JSON payload matches the structure in the documentation?
     

    I also recommend using a testing tool like postmaan to determine the issue in your code or with the API endpoint itself.

    Below are the fields required to create a cloud account credential. you can try with below.

    import requests
    import json

    url = "https://commvault.newblr.com/commandcenter/api/V4/Credential"

    payload = json.dumps({

      "accountType": "CLOUD_ACCOUNT",
      "vendorType": "HITACHI_VANTARA_HCP_CLOUD_SCALE_S3",
      "name": "XXXX",
      "accessKeyId": "XXXX",
      "secretAccessKey": "XXXX", //must be in base64 encoded format 
      "description": "XXXX"

    })
    headers = {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Accept': 'application/json',
      'Authtoken': 'QSDK XXXX'
    }

    response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload,verify=False)

    print(response.text)

    Hi All

    Thanks for your suggestions. I made API call by commenting few non-mandatory fields. 

       
        payload = json.dumps({
            "accountType": "CLOUD_ACCOUNT",
            "vendorType": "HITACHI_VANTARA_HCP_S3",
            "name": credentialName,
            "userAccount": namespaceUser,
            "password": namespacePassword_base64,
            "description": "API Integration",
            "security": {
                "owner": {
                   # "user": {
                   #     "id": 0,
                   #     "name": ""
                   # }
                }
            }
        })
