Send data requests http post. **SOLVED**

[jmarcelino]

@RadioTek
Can you post the result of
print(WLAN().ifconfig())

Also any chance you can try it on a completely different WiFi network? or maybe check the DNS result from another computer on the same network?

[RadioTek]

@jmarcelino Hi ,
The result of print(wlan.ifconfig()) is ('10.1.1.37','255.255.255.0','10.1.1.1','8.8.4.4')
I have set the WIFI to a static address. I have tried 10.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, and
my providers DNS address, and all return the same result.
addr = socket.getaddrinfo('http://www.checkthat.com.au', 80)[0][-1]
print(addr) # returns ('200.249.64.63',80')
Then entering the known IP address for "www.checkthat.com.au"
addr = ('116.0.20.2',80)
print(addr) # returns ('116.0.20.2',80)
sa = socket.socket()
sa.connect(addr)
sa.send(b'GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: checkthat.com.au\r\n\r\n')
data = sa.recv(1000)
sa.close()
print(data) # returns the header information of the page

I have tried this on my mobile network as well, with alternate IP address's
wlan.ifconfig(config=('192.168.43.10', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.43.1', '192.168.43.1')) and it has behaved exactly the same way.

Thanks from Alex

@RadioTek
Thank you for posting those. Just to be sure you're running the latest firmware on the LoPy?

os.uname()

Also when you connected to the mobile network was that using a mobile phone as the WiFi AP?

[RadioTek]

@jmarcelino said in Send data requests http post.:

os.uname()

(sysname='LoPy', nodename='LoPy', release='1.6.10.b1', version='v1.8.6-556-g989d5ac9 on 2017-03-30', machine='LoPy with ESP32', lorawan='1.0.0'

Yes connection to my mobile network was via WIFI using phone as AP

My Laptop "as using now" is worked through my office WIFI network back in to ADSL2. DNS functioning of all computers on the network seems perfect.

Regards Alex

Hello everyone,

I keep trying to send the requests but I still can not, I want you to see this that came out...

I do not know how to send requests, I even tried connecting the LoPy to the Raspberry through Tx and Rx but I also did not find positive result.

I really need help! Thank you...

@bucknall Hello again,

I think I'm slowly solving things, what I did was change the domain name by IP, and now it works, but I have an error again with the library, this time it speaks of: "TypeError: object with buffer protocol required"...

Do you know what it is about?

[livius]

@scg94
cast data as bytes

urequest.request("POST", url, bytes([your_data])

or create it at start as buffered

[scg94]

@livius Hi,

I tried with this and look at the result ...

>>> datos={"temperatura_rpi": 500}
>>> data=bytes([datos])
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: cant convert dict to int
>>> urequest.request("POST" ,"http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/raspxxx?token=xxxxxxxxx",{"temperatura_rpi": bytes(500)})
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/flash/lib/urequest.py", line 74, in request
TypeError: object with buffer protocol required
>>>

Can you help me?? Thank u...

[livius]

@scg94 said in Send data requests http post.:
third parameter must be buffered
e.g. string or bytes
you can not send dictionary

{"temperatura_rpi": bytes(500)}

do you try to send string?
if yes then concat it

'{"temperatura_rpi": 500}'

or if you have int variable

'{"temperatura_rpi": ' + str(int_var) + '}'

[scg94]

@livius

I already tried with both, look at the error...

>>> urequest.request("POST","http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/rasxxxxx?token=xxxxxxxxxxx",'{"temperatura_rpi":' + str(500)+'}')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/flash/lib/urequest.py", line 53, in request
OSError: 23
>>> 

And in the line 53 in library urequest.py is:

s = usocket.socket()

Thanks for your help...

[livius]

@scg94
which library do you finally use?
I supposed that from first post @bucknall - but there is not line like you show

[scg94]

@livius I was confused on line 53, sorry, I already corrected it ...

The library is https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/blob/master/urequests/urequests.py

And the error line 53 is:

s = usocket.socket()

[livius]

@scg94
are you sure that you are connected to the router?
And do you have OSError after first good try?
If you try again after some error request it raise OSError

for me library work - and i can send POST request
did you tried

urlpost.request("POST", "http://itstop.pl/testapi?kind=test&key=secret", '{"temperatura_rpi":' + str(500)+'}').text

but library need some little correction to work with some errors responses
but if you have good one it success always

[scg94]

@livius Okay, I want you to see this ...

I was trying to send the data and I got a response:

>>> urlpost.request("POST", "http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/raspberry-pi?token=private")
<Response object at 3ffe5870>
>>> urlpost.request("POST", "http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/raspberry-pi?token=private",'{"temperatura_rpi":'+str(500)+'}')
<Response object at 3ffe6250>

However he did not receive anything on the platform. From one moment to another I got an error:

>>> urlpost.request("POST", "http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/raspberry-pi?token=private",'{"temperatura_rpi":'+str(500)+'}')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/flash/lib/urequest.py", line 53, in request
OSError: 23

I have done well the connection with WLAN, because I could enter by FTP and because in the same console I have a response:

>>> wlan.isconnected()
True
>>> wlan.ifconfig()
('192.168.1.103', '255.255.255.0', '192.168.1.254', 'Public_IP')

I do not know what else to do...

[livius]

@scg94
try first on e.g.
https://requestb.in

create bin and put url

>>> urlpost.request("POST", "http://requestb.in/1kley5v1", '{"temperatura_rpi":' + str(500)+'}').text
'ok'

@livius
Brother, I just saw the error more clearly...

>>> urequest.request("POST","http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/raspberry-pi?token=private",'{"temperatura_rpi":'+str(500)+'}').text
'{"detail": "Unsupported media type \'\' in request."}'

What is it????

I did the same as you and this was the result:

>>> urequest.request("POST", "http://requestb.in/1kley5v1", '{"temperatura_rpi":' + str(500)+'}').text
'ok'
>>> urequest.request("POST", "http://requestb.in/1kley5v1", '{"temperatura_rpi":500}').text
'ok'

[livius]

@scg94
I do not know which media type is supported on your site but
try to add parameter

urequest.request("POST","http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/raspberry-pi?token=private",'{"temperatura_rpi":'+str(500)+'}', {"Content-Type": "text/plain"}).text

[scg94]

@livius Hiiiii,

Yes, that's right, the header is {Content-Type: application / json}. Unfortunately I get error, and this is where everything gets complicated again ...

>>> urequest.request("POST","http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/raspberry-pi?token=private",'{"temperatura_rpi":'+str(500)+'}',{"Content-Type":"application/json"}).text

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/flash/lib/urequest.py", line 67, in request

If you want I can send the token for a message so that you help me to make tests and see the error that I get ...

[livius]

@scg94

i miss one parameter
try this

urequest.request("POST","http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/raspberry-pi?token=private",'{"temperatura_rpi":'+str(500)+'}', None, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"}).text

[scg94]

@livius
Hey bro! SOLVED

>>> urequest.request("POST","http://50.23.124.68/api/v1.6/devices/raspberry-pi?token=private",'{"temperatura_rpi":'+str(30.67)+'}',None,{"Content-Type" : "application/json"}).text
'{"temperatura_rpi": [{"status_code": 201}]}'

Thanks a Lot...
