Bitpaper Custom App Returns 404

Custom Apps

Hello. I use bitpaper.io on a regular basis for making online blackboards. I have the very simple custom app completed but can not get the connection to work. I send one optional parameter and use two return items in the module, as found at https://developers.bitpaper.io. There is not even an endpoint. I am creating two connections, one for my test API and the other for my production API using the same code.

This is so simple but I am stuck. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
I would appreciate some help.
Thank you.

Base: (I think the base is ignored for connection setting, correct?)

It is cause if you don’t specify any method parameters in Connection or in Module, it will by default do a GET request instead of a POST request.

Since There is no GET Request for https://api.bitpaper.io/public/api/v1/paper this endpoint, it will throw a 404. You can add,

“method”: “POST”,

to the Connection, but I doubt it will solve the issue, as there is no dedicated authentication method for api key validation.

Runcorn, you are correct. Adding “method”: “POST” to my connection did not fix it, but I appreciate the idea.

I wish there was a way to run it all as one piece.

We figured it out. The “method”: “POST” and “body”:{“name”:“whatever here”} must both be included in the connection request.
