REST API order creation, 400 Bad Request

[daniel832]

Hi guys,

Whenever I try to create an order through the API with "shipping_address" it fails. However without shipping_address, the order is processed correctly.

For example, making the following query in a POST request to /admin/api/2021-01/orders.json returns HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request:

{"order": {"email": "email@domain.com", "send_receipt": false, "send_fulfillment_receipt": true, "note": "Customer note if applicable", "inventory_behaviour": "decrement_obeying_policy", "line_items": [{"variant_id": 39290503954631, "quantity": 1}, {"variant_id": 39384463212743, "quantity": 2}, {"title": "DIFFAIR Order number 1234567", "price": 0, "quantity": 1, "variant_title": "Customer Name, Address1, Address2, 8000 City"}], "shipping_lines": [{"price": 9, "title": "DIFFAIR Market"}], "shipping_address": [{"first_name": "Bob", "last_name": "Who", "address1": "Fake Street 92", "address2": "", "city": "Louisville", "zip": "40202", "country": "United States"}] }}

But the same request with the "shipping_address" works:

{"order": {"email": "email@domain.com", "send_receipt": false, "send_fulfillment_receipt": true, "note": "Customer note if applicable", "inventory_behaviour": "decrement_obeying_policy", "line_items": [{"variant_id": 39290503954631, "quantity": 1}, {"variant_id": 39384463212743, "quantity": 2}, {"title": "DIFFAIR Order number 1234567", "price": 0, "quantity": 1, "variant_title": "Customer Name, Address1, Address2, 8000 City"}], "shipping_lines": [{"price": 9, "title": "DIFFAIR Market"}] }}

The 400 error code seems like a formatting issue, but I can't figure it out.

Anyone seen this behaviour or can see my mistake?

Thanks,

Daniel

Oops, I found the error. There should be no square brackets around the shipping_address value.

This works as expected:

{"order": {"email": "email@domain.com", "send_receipt": false, "send_fulfillment_receipt": true, "note": "Customer note if applicable", "inventory_behaviour": "decrement_obeying_policy", "line_items": [{"variant_id": 39290503954631, "quantity": 1}, {"variant_id": 39384463212743, "quantity": 2}, {"title": "DIFFAIR Order number 1234567", "price": 0, "quantity": 1, "variant_title": "Customer Name, Address1, Address2, 8000 City"}], "shipping_lines": [{"price": 9, "title": "DIFFAIR Market"}], "shipping_address": {"first_name": "Bob", "last_name": "Who", "address1": "Fake Street 92", "address2": "", "city": "Louisville", "zip": "40202", "country": "United States"} }}

I guess it helps to lay out the problem clearly 😄
