06:10 woky Hello. What's the correct status code that should the resource return on PUT when the body of the request didn't conform to the resource constraints (bad xml/json structure, missing field, negative int, ...)?
06:11 woky Is it just 400?
06:17 singh_abhinav joined #rest
06:19 singh_abhinav I am creating REST API for uploading files. Any pointers on best practises for designing file upload API?  I'm particularly interested in what all the request and response headers shall I sent
06:20 tmoore woky: 422 is typical
06:20 tmoore http://stackoverflow.com/a/20215807/29470
06:22 trygvis 422 is when you're sending illegal json/xml, 400 if the file is semantically invalid (missing fields etc)
06:27 woky great, than you, tmoore, trygvis
06:28 tmoore trygvis: I thought it was the other way around
06:28 tmoore (according to the link above and other things I've read)
06:28 trygvis uhm, yes. you're right
06:29 trygvis sorry

11:09 SwashBuckla I am a bit of a REST noob. Can anyone see how to create an order given this documentation? I am using Basic Auth: https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api/stores/v2/orders#create-order
11:10 SwashBuckla whenever I send raw a copy-paste of that example Request JSON, I get [{"status":415,"message":"The specified input content type is not valid."}]
11:13 pdurbin "When performing a request that contains a body (eg. POST or PUT), the type of content you are sending needs to be specified in the Content-Type header." https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api/media-types
11:13 fumanchu_ joined #rest
11:13 SwashBuckla so...
11:14 SwashBuckla !paste
11:15 pdurbin SwashBuckla: which Content-Type header are you sending?
11:15 SwashBuckla application/json
11:15 SwashBuckla but I could be doing it wrong
11:15 SwashBuckla ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
11:16 SwashBuckla pdurbin: http://pastebin.com/jK1czcrQ
11:16 SwashBuckla raw request pasted there
11:17 SwashBuckla is that the right way to do it?
11:21 pdurbin it'd be easier to tell from looking at a curl command
11:30 SwashBuckla how do I get one?
11:31 SwashBuckla oh, I have found some docs on that
11:40 Left_Turn joined #rest
11:43 SwashBuckla pdurbin: well, I fixed it.
11:43 SwashBuckla It's much easier to use curl
11:43 SwashBuckla than Postman...

22:39 JMZ_DMZ say you have an apikey and user-auth securing access to a database
22:39 JMZ_DMZ if someone compromises the api key
22:40 JMZ_DMZ could they even read any db info without having a user/pass?
22:48 pdurbin could read part of the db, probably. sure
