Error Creating Campaign Via Web Services

[Hashmat Khan]

I am using Poster for consuming SocialMiner APIs. I am using Create Campaign API, Following are the URL, HTTP method and HTTP request which i am using for the API.

URL: http://192.168.200.163/ccp-webapp/ccp/campaign

Actions: POST

Content Type: application/xml

HTTP Request Code:

<Campaign>

<name>MyTestCampaign</name>

<publicId>MyTestCampaign</publicId>

<description>This is my test campaign</description>

<includeExpr>Cisco Expert Advisor</includeExpr>

<excludeExpr>ICM</excludeExpr>

<feeds>

<feed>

http://192.168.200.163/ccp-webapp/ccp/feed/100078

</feed>

</feeds>

<filters>

<filter>

http://192.168.200.163/ccp-webapp/ccp/filter/100083

</filter>

</filters>

</Campaign>

And when i click POST function i get the following error response.

Status:  400 Bad Request

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<apiErrors>

    <apiError>

        <errorData>feed</errorData>

        <errorMessage>For input string: &quot;100078

&quot;</errorMessage>

        <errorType>invalidInput</errorType>

    </apiError>

</apiErrors>

Can any one help me in figuring this out please...?

It would appear the feed url you are specifying on the campaign is invalid.

Try getting a list of feeds and be sure the feed id in your Campaign is correct:

http:///ccp-webapp/ccp/feed?summary=false

I have already done this, i.e. got the list of feeds and made sure that id is correct even then getting an error..

Hello.  The problem you are having is that you've put the value of the feed attribute (http://192.168.200.163/ccp-webapp/ccp/feed/100078) on its own line, adding Line-Feed characters into the value.

Put the feed and filter attribute value on the same line and you should be fine:

<Campaign>

<name>MyTestCampaign</name>

<publicId>MyTestCampaign</publicId>

<description>This is my test campaign</description>

<includeExpr>Cisco Expert Advisor</includeExpr>

<excludeExpr>ICM</excludeExpr>

<feeds>

<feed>http://192.168.200.163/ccp-webapp/ccp/feed/100078</feed>

</feeds>

<filters>

<filter>http://192.168.200.163/ccp-webapp/ccp/filter/100083</filter>

</filters>

</Campaign>
