Use API to update field but it's not updating but adding

ernieek · 2018-12-07 17:27:47

hello,

I use the following powershell code:

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add('Content-Type','Application/Json')
$headers.Add('Session-Token', $GLPI_Session)
$headers.Add('App-Token', $GLPI_Apikey)

$json = '{"input": { "id":71 , "comment": "test"}}'
$result = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ($GLPI_ApiUrl+'/Computer') -Body $json -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers -Method POST

What I will do is trying to update the comment field, and after if this is working the purch date, warranty expiration.

But it's now not updating the computer with id 71, it is adding a new compiter with an other id.....

Can someone help me how to update otherfiels then comment and on the right computer.

Kind regards Erwin

to update use PUT method, ( not POST)

PS : i move to APIREST Section

Many Thanks, you're my hero it works indeed.

One question more, how to findthe field name's? for example i will put some text in the 'Warranty information' but how is the field called?

so i can update it with the api.

there are diffrent ways :

1) with API :
/listSearchOptions/Infocom/

returns fields with indexes

…
[7] => Array (
[name] => Informations sur la garantie
[table] => glpi_infocoms [field] => warranty_info
[datatype] => string
[nosearch] =>
[nodisplay] =>
[available_searchtypes] => Array ( [0] => contains )
[uid] => Infocom.warranty_info )
...

2)look for searchOptions in inc/infocoms.class.php

$tab[] = [
'id' => '7',
'table' => $this->getTable(),
'field' => 'warranty_info',
'name' => __('Warranty information'),
'datatype' => 'string'
];

you can also search option from computer :

/listSearchOptions/Computer/
...
[52] => Array ( [name] => Informations sur la garantie
[table] => glpi_infocoms
[field] => warranty_info
[datatype] => string
[nosearch] =>
[nodisplay] =>
[available_searchtypes] => Array ( [0] => contains )
[uid] => Computer.Infocom.warranty_info )
or with GLPI Graphic interface look for warranty information and you'll get URL :

glpi/front/computer.php?is_deleted=0&criteria[0][field]=52&criteria[0][searchtype]=contains&criteria[0][value]=dummy

then for computer field id is 52

many thanks

$json = '{"input": { "id":71 , "comment": "test comment" , "warranty_info": "test info", "buy_date": "2015-01-01", "end_warranty": "2019-01-01", "warranty_duration": "12"}}'

should work then, but isn't

Comment is working but the other fields are not changed....

are you updating computer or infocom ? ( please give URL)

ernieek · 2018-12-11 16:13:15

http://hostname/glpi/apirest.php/Computer

$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add('Content-Type','Application/Json')
$headers.Add('Session-Token', $GLPI_Session)
$headers.Add('App-Token', $GLPI_Apikey)

$json = '{"input": { "id":71 , "comment": "test comment" }}'
$result = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ($GLPI_ApiUrl+'/Computer') -Body $json -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers -Method PUT

$json = '{"input": { "id":71 , "warranty_info": "test info", "buy_date": "2015-01-01", "end_warranty": "2019-01-01", "warranty_duration": "12"}}'
$result = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri ($GLPI_ApiUrl+'/infocom') -Body $json -ContentType "application/json" -Headers $headers -Method PUT

1) you should GET /Computer/71/Infocom/

2) from response extract $InfocomID ( witch should be different from 71)
3)

$json = '{"input": { "id": $InfocomID , "warranty_info": "test info", "buy_date": "2015-01-01", "end_warranty": "2019-01-01", "warranty_duration": "12"}}'
PUT /infocom/$infocomID/
