Invalid JSON Unexpected character Error - POST request

Question

Hi,

I'm getting the JSON error when I'm making the post request. Please note that it works perfectly fine in Postman. Can some please help me out thanks.

Post body Template

{ 
   "format": "CSV",
   "filter": { 
      "createdAt": { 
         "startAt": 2020-06-20 16:33:19.780Z,
         "endAt": 2020-06-21 16:33:19.780Z
      },
      "activityTypeIds": [
         1               
         ]    
   }
}

Error code : "Invalid JSON. Unexpected character ('-' (code 45)): was expecting comma to separate Object entries"}]}

@ajay_mamgain200 You need to quote your json values like this:

{ 
   "format": "CSV",
   "filter": { 
      "createdAt": { 
         "startAt": "2020-06-20 16:33:19.780Z",
         "endAt": "2020-06-21 16:33:19.780Z"
      },
      "activityTypeIds": [
         1               
         ]    
   }
}

You may need to modify the activityTypeIds too. I commend your use of Postman for testing before implementing the test in NiFi. This is exactly what I do to determine operational base sample call formats to a service before starting to implement in NiFi.
