Complex REST request in URL format

Due to the limitation of the system that I am working on, I have to convert the following into URL format for /data/createFromTemplate:


{
"templateName": "Program Tempate Rev4 2015-05-13",
"entity": {
        "Id": "/Project",
        "Name": "9998 Program"
           }
}

 

Used the following:

 

/data/createFromTemplate?templateName=Program Tempate Rev4 2015-05-13&entity.Id=/Project&entity.Name=9998 Program

Got error message:

"message": "Missing argument: Entity"

 

How do I compose the correct URL for this?

 

Thank you.

Hi Bo,

REST API in general (not Clarizen's particularly) requires usage of HTTP methods other than GET.

CreateFromTemplate expects POST method (says the documentation).GET may work here, but I can't guarantee it.

Anyway, the entity parameter has to stay as it is, i.e. entity={"Id": "/Project","Name": "9998 Program"} as JSON representation of entity object. You can't just use the properties.
You may also need to URL encode that input.

Hope this helps,
