09/14/2023, 5:29 PMHi, I’m trying to update a single experiment from the API, but no matter how I format the request data I get an error like
Unrecognized key(s) in object: '{ name: \"test_experiment\"}'"}%b

09/14/2023, 6:26 PMJane, would you mind sharing the cURL request or code you're using to make the API call that is erroring out?

09/14/2023, 6:55 PMThanks! Here’s an example (removing all our details) of the style of what I’ve tried that’s not working for me to update an experiment
Copy code
curl -X POST [api_home]/api/v1/experiments/experiment_id \
-d '{"id":"experiment_id", "name":"Sample Test",[…]}' \
-u [my_secret_key]:ambitious-apartment-58735
09/14/2023, 6:56 PMI similarly tried creating a test experiment

09/14/2023, 6:58 PM Copy code
curl -X POST [api_home]/api/v1/experiments \
-d '{"id":"experiment_id", "name":Sample Test",[…]}' \
-u [my_secret_key]:ambitious-apartment-58735
09/14/2023, 6:58 PMI tried different variations on the key quoting but none of that helped

09/14/2023, 8:10 PMWe are still looking into this

09/14/2023, 8:15 PMGood news! Looks like all that was missing was the Content Type header. If you add it to your cURL request it should work perfectly:
Copy code
curl -X POST [api_home]/api/v1/experiments/experiment_id \
-d '{ "name": "updated_name"}' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-u secret_1234:brief-honey-45610

09/14/2023, 9:29 PMi tried creating an experiment following that and added the require arguments but still get
Unrecognized key(s) in object: 'settings'"ambitious-apartment-58735
09/14/2023, 9:30 PMis it possible share a working example for creating a new experiment? i can test if that works for me

09/15/2023, 4:06 AMHi Jane, I'm perplexed! I will connect with our API engineer again tomorrow and hopefully we can give you a new approach to try.
