Just trying to call the basic Hello World RESTlet. I just want to call the RESTlet through the URL to start with. I have also tried this using Postman extenstion as well.

…..deploy=1&NLAuth nlauth_account=11111, nlauth_email=my@email.com, nlaut….

…..deploy=1&(Authoirzation: NLAuth nlauth_account=11111, nlauth_email=my@email.com, nlaut…)

…..deploy=1&nlauth_account=11111&nlauth_email=my @email.com&nlaut….

I have tried many different combinations, but I still get 401 error, no authorization header.

Your passing the NLAuth parameters in the Authorization header right? Your examples sort of indicate your passing these as url parameters.

The header should look like this:

authorization = ‘NLAuth nlauth_account=111111,nlauth_email= username,nlauth_signature=password,nlauth_role=role’

Okay thanks. I was a little confused about the header, I thought maybe it could be passed through the URL as well, but now see how to do it. I guess the header gets passed through the wire or something like that. I was able to do it with cURL.

Code:
curl -X GET -H ‘Authorization: NLAuth nlauth_account=xxxxx,nlauth_email=xxxxxx,nlauth_signature=xxxx, nlauth_role=x’ -H ‘Cache-Control: no-cache’ -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ ‘https://rest.netsuite.com/app/site/hosting/restlet.nl?script=228&deploy=1’
Hello world was successful. Now I am trying to POST using the example in NetSuite and create a new record, but I keep on getting a combination of the following errors no matter what I try

cant resolve host companyname,

cant resolve host subsidair

….

SYNTAX_ERROR”, “message” : “SyntaxError: Empty JSON string (null$lib#3).”}}

Any insight into the this?

Code:
curl -X POST -H ‘Authorization: NLAuth nlauth_account=xxxxx,nlauth_email=xxxxxx,nlauth_signature=xxxx, nlauth_role=x’ -H ‘Cache-Control: no-cache’ -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ ‘https://rest.netsuite.com/app/site/hosting/restlet.nl?script=228&deploy=1’ {“recordtype”:”customer”,”entityid”:”John Doe”,”companyname”:”ABCTools Inc”,”subsidiary”:”1″,”email”:”jdoe@email.com”,”entitystatus”:”CUSTOMER-Closed Won”}
NetSuite Sample POST RESTLet

Code:
// Create a standard NetSuite record function createRecord(datain) { var err = new Object(); // Validate if mandatory record type is set in the request if (!datain.recordtype) { err.status = “failed”; err.message= “missing recordtype”; return err; } var record = nlapiCreateRecord(datain.recordtype); for (var fieldname in datain) { if (datain.hasOwnProperty(fieldname)) { if (fieldname != ‘recordtype’ && fieldname != ‘id’) { var value = datain[fieldname]; if (value && typeof value != ‘object’) // ignore other type of parameters { record.setFieldValue(fieldname, value); } } } } var recordId = nlapiSubmitRecord(record); nlapiLogExecution(‘DEBUG’,’id=’+recordId); var nlobj = nlapiLoadRecord(datain.recordtype,recordId); return nlobj; }

It this helps anyone, the syntax is curl -X POST -H ‘NLAuth’ -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ -d ‘{“key”:”val”}’ URL

Hi Nic,

This syntax looks good. Did you get it working? Some things about curl calling RESTlets: URL should be enclosed in quotes due to the ‘&’ in the URL. If you have special characters in the NLAuth string, they should be URL encoded (e.g. if you have ‘!’ in password, replace by %21 . if you have + in email, replace by %2B , etc.).

This should work:

Code:
curl -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” -H “Authorization: NLAuth nlauth_account=xxxxx,nlauth_email=xxxxxx,nlauth_signature=xxxx, nlauth_role=x” -d ‘{“recordtype”:”customer”,”entityid”:”John Doe”,”companyname”:”ABCTools Inc”,”subsidiary”:”1″,”email”:”jdoe@email.com”,”entitystatus”:”CUSTOMER-Closed Won”}’ “https://rest.netsuite.com/app/site/hosting/restlet.nl?script=228&deploy=1”
