KoBoCAT REST API - Submissions

User Support API
, ,
1

I installed the KoboToolbox on my server. I want to create new record via KoBoCAT REST Api http://kc.kobo.local/api/v1/submissions.

Here is the payload data:

{
    "id": "2",
    "submission": {
        "New_Question": "From API"
    }
}

The response:

{
    "error": "Improperly formatted XML."
}

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi @sanitasihalt,

Please review the topic below, your JSON structure is wrong, you need to use a specific JSON format. Error 500 on Data Import with Python - #7 by surveyorjr
