Issue with CONFIFORM REST API version-1 Endpoints After Update on 13.12.2024

After the recent update on 13.12.2024, the REST API endpoints `Validate ConfiForms Entry` and `Create ConfiForms Entry` have stopped working. Prior to this update, both endpoints were functioning correctly with the same data. Post-update, I am encountering the following error for both endpoints:

Cannot read and parse field values. Entry mapping request must be in a JSON format, but it is not. JSONArray[0] is not a JSONObject (class java.lang.String : EU)

 

• No changes have been made to the data being sent to the endpoints.
• The issue started immediately after the update on 13.12.2024.

Before this update I was able to validate and create ConfiForms Entry as a child page from the parent template.

The error you're encountering suggests that the API expects the data in a specific JSON format, but it's receiving a string instead of a JSON object.

Here are a few steps to fix it:

1. Check the API Documentation: The update might have changed the expected data format. Review the documentation to see if any changes were made to the request structure.

2. Ensure Correct JSON Format: The data should be in JSON format, and fields that were strings might now need to be structured as JSON objects. For example:

   {
     "fields": [{"country": "EU"}]
   }

3. Verify Content-Type: Make sure you're sending the request with the Content<a href="https://kineprohub.com" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">-</a>Type: application/json header.

4. Test with Simple Data: Try sending simplified data to ensure the structure is correct.

Check the release notes for the update on 13.12.2024 to see if any API format changes were made.
