Drupal 7 + Services 3.2

I am using Postman for Chrome (a http client) to test the API.

What I want to do is login a user then create a node with the user by using the Drupal service API.

Below are what I tried:

Firstly, I logged in the user with JSON POST request to http://mysite.com/api/user/login :

enter image description here

Successfully, got return JSON:

{
    "sessid": "KrZjlcY3rFr8v6iLoskcVQN9DmDWsg5yZqIjBeydEBY",
    "session_name": "SESS9fe39db36ccd7afd64e034fefa0129e1",
    "user": {
        "uid": "31",
        "name": "test_user",
        "mail": "[email protected]",
        "theme": "",
        "signature": "",
        "signature_format": "filtered_html",
        "created": "1352985941",
        "access": "1352991170",
        "login": 1352991510,
        "status": "1",
        "timezone": "",
        "language": "",
        "picture": null,
        "init": "[email protected]",
        "data": false,
        "roles": {
            "2": "authenticated user"
        },
        "rdf_mapping": {
            "rdftype": [
                "sioc:UserAccount"
            ],
            "name": {
                "predicates": [
                    "foaf:name"
                ]
            },
            "homepage": {
                "predicates": [
                    "foaf:page"
                ],
                "type": "rel"
            }
        }
    }
}

Then I tried to create an article via the API by sending the JSON POST request. (the user has article create permission)

enter image description here

I got "401 Unauthorized" response.

So I guess I need to include the session cookie info to send the POST request for article create??

I have the session info previously returned: 

"sessid": "KrZjlcY3rFr8v6iLoskcVQN9DmDWsg5yZqIjBeydEBY",
"session_name": "SESS9fe39db36ccd7afd64e034fefa0129e1",

How can I utilize it to make a successful JSON POST request for creating an article?

Thanks!

Hope this will help you,

  • To make the HTTP requests, Im using the Firefox add-on POSTER.

    enter image description here

    {
  "type" : "article",
  "title" : "Test article with language",
  "language" : "und"
}

  • If node is created successfully you will get a response with a link.

    enter image description here

  • Examples 

    {
  "type": "article",
  "title": "Test article",
  "body": { 
    "und": [{ 
      "value": "test body!"
     }]
  },
  "language" : "und"
}

    {
   "title":"Review",
   "type":"establishment_review",
   "field_establishment":[
      {
         "nid":{
            "nid":"[nid:26686]"
         }
      }
   ],
   "field_fivestar_value":[
      {
         "rating":"20",
         "target":"0"
      }
   ],
   "field_review":[
      {
         "value":"comments about the restaurant"
      }
   ]
}

{
   "title": "Just another drupal Post",
   "type": "Article"
}

notice no comma after the type:article tag so that your json works.
