Create Mileage API not working

1

Hi

It s working before but not any more

The XML that I am sending is stored in an XML file:

<expense>

  <user>https://api.irisopenbooks.co.uk/v2/users/205154</user>

  <category>https://api.irisopenbooks.co.uk/v2/categories/249</category>

  <dated-on type="date">2015-12-13</dated-on>

  <mileage type="decimal">220.00</mileage>

  <description>test mileage</description>

  <vehicle-type>Car</vehicle-type>

  <reclaim_mileage_rate>0.4</reclaim_mileage_rate>

  <rebill_mileage_rate>0.4</rebill_mileage_rate>

I am using google auth play:

I created a token and added two headers

  • ‘Accept’ with value ‘application/xml’
  • and ‘Content-Type’ with value ‘application/xml’

and I I tried posting it using thr following URL

Before posting I ma setting the content type on the google auth play user
interface to: application/xml’

But it is coming with 500 error

HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

X-request-id: e3e817af-cfb7-4876-8914-6b5c736c315d

Vary: Origin

X-runtime: 0.031940

Server: nginx

Connection: keep-alive

X-frame-options: SAMEORIGIN

Content-type: application/xml

This xml was working last time I tried in April this year.

Please help.

Hi David

Just ignore all my messages.
I am using DOT NET and my HHTPResponse object was not getting disposed
correctly and hence it was timing out in 3rd attempt. I am now using the
‘using’ key word (see below) and all works fine.

                // Send the request to Free Agent

                using (StreamWriter streamOut = new StreamWriter

(req.GetRequestStream()))

                {

                    streamOut.Write(request);

                    streamOut.Close();


                    // and get the response

                    using (WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse())

                    {

                        newID = ExtractID(resp, URL);

                    }

                }

Thanks

Doing a little more digging, it appears as if the timeout happens after
every 2 successful HTTP POST.
Do I need to add some delay between the HTTP POST request?

Hi David

Sorry to bother again. While your mentioned solution fixed the problem, I
am now getting timeout, almost every 2nd/3rd transaction I am submitting.
The same app worked flawlessly last time. Is there any bottleneck on the
isiropenbook server at the moment? This is quite frustrating as I need to
upload transactions from April 2015 onwards.

Also I noticed that the type=date was used in generating XML for
expenses, mileage, invoices and bank transactions. While apart from mileage
all other works, do you think it is a good idea to remove that from all
others as this is more correct behaviour or this is a temp glitch in the
code and will be fixed in the future release, so I limit my changes to just
mileage type.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply.
I just tried your suggestion through Google OAuth Playground and now it
works.

Its strange that the API behavior have changed between march 2015 and
now as the XML were working file before and I have been scratching my head
over the weekend as why it has stopped working. I couldn’t figure out as I
made some changes to my batch uploaded app as well.

Anyway all sorted.

Hi Pankaj,

Thank you for your message and I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble,

I’ve investigated this issue with my colleague and using the XML you’ve
provided, we’ve been able to reproduce the issue.

FreeAgent expects that date values will be sent as a string, for
example “2015-12-13”, which we then convert into a Date.
In the XML you’ve provided, you’ve explicitly set the type=“date”
attribute which means the conversion isn’t required.

We need to make a change in our API to skip the conversion if a date
has already been supplied.
For now, you should be able to fix your integration by removing the type=“date”
attribute from dated-on element in your request:

  <dated-on>2015-12-13</dated-on>

Our apologies for the confusion and I hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Dave J
