Hip Chat API Error vb.net

[Joshua Harris]

When I try to call the HipChat API from vb.net i'm getting a 400 Bad Request. I'm able to use the same info in a "Advanced Rest Client" and it works perfectly. 

Here is the code & errror. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Joshua,

The field names in the JSON body are case sensitive so you should be using "message" and not "Message". Hopefully I'm reading the VB code in your screenshot correctly

this is exactly what the problem was. my json wasn't formatted correctly message was capital, and so was the color and the values inside colors! After changing it worked! Thank you very much!!

Hi Joshua, It is difficult to debug what's going wrong just by looking at the screenshot, might be a lot of different things.

Given that it works using another client I suspect the request that you send with vb.net doesn't have the same structure/parameters compared to "Advanced Rest Client" request. You can try to sniff the network and compare the requests – should give you enough data of what's going wrong.
