When I try to add an attachment to my message I either only get the text or if I leave out the text I get "error": "no_text", is there any way to send an attachmet with chat.postMessage?
This is the python code I use for sending the message:
r = requests.post('https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage', params=json.loads("""
{
"token": "xoxp-mytokenhere",
"channel": "C4mychannelhere",
"attachments": [
{
"text": "Question?",
"fallback": "Question?",
"callback_id": "callback_id",
"color": "#3AA3E3",
"attachment_type": "default",
"actions": [
{
"name": "question",
"text": "Yes",
"style": "good",
"type": "button",
"value": "yes"
},
{
"name": "question",
"text": "Nope",
"style": "good",
"type": "button",
"value": "no"
}
]
}
]
}
"""))
Based on the comment I went with the following solution:
r = requests.post('https://slack.com/api/chat.postMessage', params=json.loads({
"token": "xoxp-mytokenhere",
"channel": "C4mychannelhere",
"attachments": json.dumps([
{
"text": "Question?",
"fallback": "Question?",
"callback_id": "callback_id",
"color": "#3AA3E3",
"attachment_type": "default",
"actions": [
{
"name": "question",
"text": "Yes",
"style": "good",
"type": "button",
"value": "yes"
},
{
"name": "question",
"text": "Nope",
"style": "good",
"type": "button",
"value": "no"
}
]
}
])
}))
It looks like you're trying to send a JSON string as your entire set of parameters to chat.postMessage.
chat.postMessage and other web API methods only support URL-encoded query or POST body parameters, so your fields like token and channel and attachments are sent as application/x-www-form-urlencoded key/value pairs instead.
To complicate things a little further, the attachments parameter actually does take a string of URL-encoded JSON data. Your JSON array needs to be URL-encoded and stuffed into that parameter.
Depending on your goals, you could either skip using json.loads and just pass that JSON string as your attachments parameter and requests will take care of URL-encoding it for you -- or you can use something like json.dump on a native Python array you build with the same attributes.

I'm trying to work with the Campaign Monitor API, posting JSON data through the API to update subscriber lists. I'm currently one change away from being able to send data,
Right now, my JSON data looks like this
{
"EmailAddress": "subscriber1#example.com",
"Name": "New Subscriber One",
"CustomFields": [
{
"Key": "website",
"Value": "http://example.com"
},
{
"Key": "interests",
"Value": "magic"
},
{
"Key": "interests",
"Value": "romantic walks"
},
{
"Key": "age",
"Value": "",
"Clear": true
}
],
},
{
"EmailAddress": "subscriber2#example.com",
"Name": "New Subscriber Two",
},
{
"EmailAddress": "subscriber3#example.com",
"Name": "New Subscriber Three",
}
}
I still need to add a new key value at the beginning of the JSON payload, incorporating the 'Subscribers' : my_json_data. How would I go about easily adding on the Subscribers key and placing my full and current json data into a list?
Final result should look like
{
'Subscribers' : [
{
"EmailAddress": "subscriber1#example.com",
"Name": "New Subscriber One",
"CustomFields": [
{
"Key": "website",
"Value": "http://example.com"
},
{
"Key": "interests",
"Value": "magic"
},
{
"Key": "interests",
"Value": "romantic walks"
},
{
"Key": "age",
"Value": "",
"Clear": true
}
],
},
{
"EmailAddress": "subscriber2#example.com",
"Name": "New Subscriber Two",
},
{
"EmailAddress": "subscriber3#example.com",
"Name": "New Subscriber Three",
}
}
]
}
I've tried to approach this with creating a new dictionary however when I convert that back to JSON I get more issues and headaches. Is there any easy way to keep everything as a JSON formatted dataset and add in the leading 'Subscribers' key?
this should do it assuming you've got a valid JSON.
your_new_json = {}
your_new_json['Subscribers'] = [your_current_json]
I am using a site's REST API's and have been primarily using Python's 'requests' module to GET json responses. The goal of the GET requests are to ultimately pull a user's form response which ends up being a complex json document. To deal with this:
user_form_submission = requests.get('https://www.url/doc.json',
auth = (api_key, secret),
params = params)
python_obj = json.loads(user_form_submission.text)
trimmed_dict = python_obj['key'][0]['keys']
For context, this is what trimmed_dict would look like formatted as .json:
{
"Date": { "value": "2020-04-26", "type": "date" },
"Location": {
"value": "Test ",
"type": "text",
"geostamp": "lat=34.00000, long=-77.00000, alt=17.986118, hAccuracy=65.000000, vAccuracy=10.000000, timestamp=2020-04-26T23:39:56Z"
},
"form": {
"value": [
{
"form_Details": {
"value": [
{
"code": {
"value": "0000000000",
"type": "barcode"
},
"Name": { "value": "bob", "type": "text" }
}
],
"type": "group"
},
"Subtotal": { "value": "4", "type": "decimal" },
"form_detail2": {
"value": [
{
"name": {
"value": "billy",
"type": "text"
},
"code": {
"value": "00101001",
"type": "barcode"
},
"Classification": {
"value": "person",
"type": "select1"
},
"Start_Time": { "value": "19:43:00", "type": "time" },
"time": { "value": "4", "type": "decimal" }
}
],
"type": "subform"}
}
]
}
}
Now I have a portion of the json that contains both the useful and useless. From this point, can I pass this obj in a POST? I've tried every way that I can think of approaching it, and have been shut down.
Understanding how I want to go about this, this is how I thought it would go:
json_post = requests.post(' https://url/api/doc.json',
auth = (api_key, secret),
json = {
"form_id" : 'https://url.form.com/formid',
'payload':{
json.dumps(trimmed_dict)
}})
But, when I do this, I get the following error --
TypeError: Object of type set is not JSON serializable
How can I push this dict through this POST? If there's a more effective way of going about it, I am very open to suggestion.
Try removing the curly braces around json.dumps(trimmed_dict). json.dumps turns your trimmed_dict into a string, which becomes a python set when surrounded with braces.
Additionally you could remove json.dumps and plug the trimmed_dict into the structure directly as the value associated with payload.
Remove the extra {} from the payload. payload itself is a key and json.dumps(trimmed_dict) as a value is enough
json_post = requests.post(' https://url/api/doc.json',
auth = (api_key, secret),
json = {
"form_id" : 'https://url.form.com/formid',
"payload": json.dumps(trimmed_dict)
})
I'm trying to write a typeform bot but I am a totally beginner so I have problems with request.post
I am trying to fill this typeform: https://typeformtutorial.typeform.com/to/aA7Vx9
by this code
import requests
token = requests.get("https://typeformtutorial.typeform.com/app/form/result/token/aA7Vx9/default")
data = {"42758279": "true",
"42758410": "text",
"token": token}
r = requests.post("https://typeformtutorial.typeform.com/app/form/submit/aA7Vx9", data)
print(r)
I think that something is wrong with "data" and I am not sure if I use token in a good way. Could you help me?
So, first of all, you need to get another field with the token. To do that, you should pass the header 'accept': 'application/json' in your first request. In the response, you'll get the json object with the token and landed_at parameters. You should use them in the next step.
Then, the post data shoud be different from what you're passing. See the network tab in the browser's developer tools to find out the actual template. It has a structure like that:
{
"signature": <YOUR_SIGNATURE>,
"form_id": "aA7Vx9",
"landed_at": <YOUR_LANDED_AT_TIME>,
"answers": [
{
"field": {
"id": "42758279",
"type": "yes_no"
},
"type": "boolean",
"boolean": True
},
{
"field": {
"id": "42758410",
"type": "short_text"
},
"type": "text",
"text": "1"
}
]
}
And finally, you should convert that json to text so the server would successfully parse it.
Working example:
import requests
import json
token = json.loads(requests.post(
"https://typeformtutorial.typeform.com/app/form/result/token/aA7Vx9/default",
headers={'accept': 'application/json'}
).text)
signature = token['token']
landed_at = int(token['landed_at'])
data = {
"signature": signature,
"form_id": "aA7Vx9",
"landed_at": landed_at,
"answers": [
{
"field": {
"id": "42758279",
"type": "yes_no"
},
"type": "boolean",
"boolean": True
},
{
"field": {
"id": "42758410",
"type": "short_text"
},
"type": "text",
"text": "1"
}
]
}
json_data = json.dumps(data)
r = requests.post("https://typeformtutorial.typeform.com/app/form/submit/aA7Vx9", data=json_data)
print(r.text)
Output:
{"message":"success"}
I am trying to send an attachment to a Slack web hook.
I have followed the API documentation and can send a simple message. When I try send an attachment I get a 500 error, I presume there is an issue with my payload but I cannot work it out for the life of me.
How do I get the attachment to post successfully?
import slackweb
slack = slackweb.Slack(url='WEB HOOK URL HERE')
slack.notify(text="Maguro is a sushi")
attachments = []
attachment = {
"attachments": [
{
"fallback": "Required plain-text summary of the attachment.",
"color": "#36a64f",
"pretext": "Optional text that appears above the attachment block",
"author_name": "Bobby Tables",
"author_link": "http://flickr.com/bobby/",
"author_icon": "http://flickr.com/icons/bobby.jpg",
"title": "Slack API Documentation",
"title_link": "https://api.slack.com/",
"text": "Optional text that appears within the attachment",
"fields": [
{
"title": "Priority",
"value": "High",
"short": False
}
],
"image_url": "http://my-website.com/path/to/image.jpg",
"thumb_url": "http://example.com/path/to/thumb.png",
"footer": "Slack API",
"footer_icon": "https://platform.slack-edge.com/img/default_application_icon.png",
"ts": 123456789
}
]
}
attachments.append(attachment)
slack.notify(attachments=attachments)
You're missing two required fields in your Slack message with attachments: text and channel. You also need to lowercase the value of the short field to false.
See the corrected message here in Slack's message tester:
{
"text": "You need this field",
"channel": "C########",
"attachments": [
{
"fallback": "Required plain-text summary of the attachment.",
"color": "#36a64f",
"pretext": "Optional text that appears above the attachment block",
"author_name": "Bobby Tables",
"author_link": "http://flickr.com/bobby/",
"author_icon": "http://flickr.com/icons/bobby.jpg",
"title": "Slack API Documentation",
"title_link": "https://api.slack.com/",
"text": "Optional text that appears within the attachment",
"fields": [
{
"title": "Priority",
"value": "High",
"short": false
}
],
"image_url": "http://my-website.com/path/to/image.jpg",

}
]
}
Create a JSON structure including those two fields and your attachments variable, and you should be good to go.
I have a Python script that make an API call to retrieve data from Zendesk. (Using Python 3.x) The JSON object has a structure like this:
{
"id": 35436,
"url": "https://company.zendesk.com/api/v2/tickets/35436.json",
"external_id": "ahg35h3jh",

"updated_at": "2011-05-05T10:38:52Z",
"type": "incident",
"subject": "Help, my printer is on fire!",
"raw_subject": "{{dc.printer_on_fire}}",
"description": "The fire is very colorful.",
"priority": "high",
"status": "open",
"recipient": "support#company.com",

"forum_topic_id": 72648221,
"problem_id": 9873764,
"has_incidents": false,
"due_at": null,
"tags": ["enterprise", "other_tag"],
"via": {
"channel": "web"
},
"custom_fields": [
{
"id": 27642,
"value": "745"
},
{
"id": 27648,
"value": "yes"
}
],
"satisfaction_rating": {
"id": 1234,
"score": "good",
"comment": "Great support!"
},
"sharing_agreement_ids": [84432]
}
Where I am running into issues is in the "custom_fields" section specifically. I have a particular custom field inside of each ticket I need the value for, and I only want that particular value.
To spare you too many specifics of the Python code, I am reading through each value below for each ticket and adding it to an output variable before writing that output variable to a .csv. Here is the particular place the breakage is occuring:
output += str(ticket['custom_fields'][id:23825198]).replace(',', '')+','
All the replace nonsense is to make sure that since it is going into a comma delimited file, any commas inside of the values are removed. Anyway, here is the error I am getting:
output += str(ticket['custom_fields'][id:int(23825198)]).replace(',', '')+','
TypeError: slice indices must be integers or None or have an __index__ method
As you can see I have tried a couple different variations of this to try and resolve the issue, and have yet to find a fix. I could use some help!
Thanks...
Are you using json.loads()? If so you can then get the keys, and do an if statement against the keys. An example on how to get the keys and their respective values is shown below.
import json
some_json = """{
"id": 35436,
"url": "https://company.zendesk.com/api/v2/tickets/35436.json",
"external_id": "ahg35h3jh",

"updated_at": "2011-05-05T10:38:52Z",

{

"value": "yes"
}
],
"satisfaction_rating": {
"id": 1234,
"score": "good",
"comment": "Great support!"
},
"sharing_agreement_ids": [84432]
}"""
# load the json object
zenJSONObj = json.loads(some_json)
# Shows a list of all custom fields
print("All the custom field data")
print(zenJSONObj['custom_fields'])
print("----")
# Tells you all the keys in the custom_fields
print("How keys and the values")
for custom_field in zenJSONObj['custom_fields']:
print("----")
for key in custom_field.keys():
print("key:",key," value: ",custom_field[key])
You can then modify the JSON object by doing something like
print(zenJSONObj['custom_fields'][0])
zenJSONObj['custom_fields'][0]['value'] = 'something new'
print(zenJSONObj['custom_fields'][0])
Then re-encode it using the following:
newJSONObject = json.dumps(zenJSONObj, sort_keys=True, indent=4)
I hope this is of some help.
