Trying to update product metafield gives (406) Not acceptable

Retired Boards Appdev Metafields

I am trying to add a metafield as a test to one of our products but am met with a 406 error code when running the request through Postman. I am able to run a GET request successfully for the same product. The request I am trying is a PUT to: https://closettedevelopment.myshopify.com/admin/api/2019-07/products/4190148296797/metafields.json

the body is:

{
  "metafields": {
    "namespace": "inventory",
    "key": "warehouse",
    "value": 25,
    "value_type": "integer"
  }
}

I am using Basic Auth with our API key and password

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @samiam0906 ,

Can you share the full request with headers you are sending? 406 often means we can’t return the results in the format you are requesting. Chances are it’s an easy fix, but I’ll need some more info. Thanks!

Try to run this with a POST request instead of a PUT request.
