Solved Conference API

[Next-Tech]

Hello everyone,

I try to integrate the api key in my wbesite so it can create meetings from the admin portal.
So i try to set up the POST/sheduled but the api give me an error. In the documentation they say that we should send the body raw.
And that's where he give the error. Is their someone who can help me with this?

This is what i send:


And this is the response:

Hello, have you tried the command line version of the request? You can generate the command here:
https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/17439253/UUxzBnmk#1dd84aa5-2c26-447d-a682-f67fd53b7463

Once you get this working, you can proceed with your implementation that must replicate the same request.

 

[Next-Tech]

No, i just copy/paste the example you have on that page.
It's not really clear where i can generate my own command.

The documentation page can generate the code for you. Just select the language you're going to use in the top bar and you'll see the example code ready to copy/paste.
Of course you have to put your own PBX FQDN (replace 3cx.contoso.com:443 with yours) and the API Key (replace "Settings - Conference - Video - API Key" with yours).

Be sure to adjust dates so they're in the future, you can't create a meeting in the past.

Which language you selected? For example if I choose "Curl" I get this.

curl --location --request POST 'https://3cx.contoso.com:443/webmeeting/api/v1/scheduled' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header '3CX-ApiKey: Settings - Conference - Video - API Key' \
--header 'Content-Length: 0' \
--data-raw '{
    "hostJoinFirst": true,
    "hideParticipants": false,
    "selfModeration": true,
    "audioOnStart": true,
    "videoOnStart": true,
    "chatOnStart": true,
    "dateTime": "2022-09-27T19:30:00Z",
    "duration": 30,
    "subject": "3CX Video Conferencing",
    "description": "Meeting Description",
    "extension": "100",
    "type": "Webinar",
    "participants": [
        {
            "name": "John Doe",
            "email": "[email protected]",
            "role": "CoHost"
        },
        {
            "name": "John Doe",
            "email": "[email protected]",
            "role": "CoHost"
        }
    ]
}'

Once you put your PBX and API key, you can execute this command line from a linux box with curl installed.

I suggest to use Postman to create the requests so you can easily understand the structure.

 

[Next-Tech]

Yes, this is what we did indeed. But we still get an error. So i guess their is still some wrong information.
I put the date already on a later date.

 

[MarcelloV]

Content-Type, Content-Length and 3CX-ApiKey are headers, not query parameters.
Please read carefully the documentation, first line says:
"All requests to this API require the API key "3CX-ApiKey" in the header"

Configure only one header for the request: 3CX-ApiKey. The others are added by Postman.

In postman you're sending raw request as "text". It's wrong. You should choose "application/json"

 

[Next-Tech]

Thank you so much for all these information.
But i still do something wrong i guess. I made all the changes you said but still got an error.
Do you know what i should change?

Here you can see the headers:



Here you can see the body that i send as raw but i put it as JSON:

Could you try removing this newline from the end of your request URL?

This will cause an error like 400 Bad Request.

Thank you so much for your help.
