  • 1.  Call REST API

    Posted Fri April 12, 2019 12:43 PM
    Design a workflow which sends through REST API to a third party system the creation of a request.
    Within the action generate 4 fields and one of them has an "accent" which is giving me problems at the time of shipment.

    The problem is with the "Categoria" field in action, in the script is "Clasificacion"

    Inside my pre-script:

    Categoria1 = str('"Seguridad"')
Titulo = str('"'+rule.properties.titulo+'"')

description1 = rule.properties.descripcion['content']
description2 = description1.replace('"', '\'')
desc = repr(description2)
description6 = desc.replace('u', '', 1)
description7 = str('"'+description6+'"')

GrupoAsignado = str('"'+rule.properties.gruposm+'"')
Clasificacion = rule.properties.categoria

#Script para fechas
text = workflow.properties.fecha_salida.stdout
text2 = text.replace("\n", "")
FechaRequerida = str('"'+text2+'"')

#Datos de la tarea
RESIncidentID = str(incident.id)
RESTaskID = str(task.id)
algo = repr(task.name)
RESTaskName = algo.replace('u', '', 1)
RESTaskName1 = RESTaskName.replace('\'', '')
RESTaskName2 = str('"'+RESTaskName1+'"')


inputs.rest_body = """
{
  "ResilientQ": {
    "Categoria": "Seguridad",
    "Subcategoria": """+Clasificacion+""",
    "GrupoAsignado": """+GrupoAsignado+""",
    "SolicitadoPara": "falcon",
    "FechaRequerida": """+FechaRequerida+""",
    "SolicitadoPor": "falcon",
    "Descripcion": ["""+description7+"""],
    "Titulo": """+Titulo+""",
    "GrupoRegistradoPor": "ACCESO-PERIMETRAL-LAM",
    "Fase": "Registro",
    "RESTaskID": """+RESTaskID+""",
    "RESIncidentID": """+RESIncidentID+""",
    "RESTaskName": """+RESTaskName2+"""
    
  }
}
"""​


    When executing the ction I am asked to complete the fields and one of them, the one that frames, has that "ascent" that I understand is the cause of the failure because if I choose another option without "ascento" it works perfect.

    The error that can be seen in the logs:
    "UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xf3' in position 122: ordinal not in range(128)"

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Juan,

    Is it possible to make this call using IDs instead of the string value?

    Hi Juan,

    You can try putting a lower case u character right before the double quote of what you are setting inputs.rest_body to.
    ie:
    inputs.rest_body = u"""..."""​

    This should tell it to handle the string as Unicode instead of ASCII.

    Hi Juan,

    After some more testing, with your example 'Capactación', I have found some workarounds.

    If you were to switch to python 3.6 this looks like it should work for you.
    Also, you can update the python source code and that should address the problem. In the file utilities_call_rest_api.py you can update line 59 to be: data=rest_body.encode("utf-8"),.

    I will raise an issue internally to investigate this further.

    Brian, the solution was perfect!!!!, you saved me some lines in my "pre-script".

    Something similar happens with the field "description" a field of type "text area".
    In my pre-script I solve it in the following way:

    description1 = rule.properties.descripcion['content']
description2 = description1.replace('"', '\'')
desc = repr(description2)
description6 = desc.replace('u', '', 1)
description7 = str(description6)​

    To then enter the "inputs.rest_body"
    inputs.rest_body = """
{
  "ResilientQ": {
    "Categoria": "Seguridad",
    "Subcategoria": """+Clasificacion+""",
    "GrupoAsignado": """+GrupoAsignado+""",
    "SolicitadoPara": "falcon",
    "FechaRequerida": """+FechaRequerida+""",
    "SolicitadoPor": "falcon",
    "Descripcion": ["""+description7+"""],
    "Titulo": """+Titulo+""",
    "GrupoRegistradoPor": "ACCESO-PERIMETRAL-LAM",
    "Fase": "Registro",
    "RESTaskID": """+RESTaskID+""",
    "RESIncidentID": """+RESIncidentID+""",
    "RESTaskName": """+RESTaskName2+"""
    
  }
}
"""​

    So if in the "description" enter a text with characters, for example quotes ("), line breaks or ascents or some special character, it would be saving.

    Do you have an alternative solution?

    Your solution seems good. If you were only worried about a double quote being added you could try wrapping the rest_body string in triple single quotes instead of double quotes.
