Update List Items using REST API - Keep Getting 400 Bad Request

I am using code from the following answer:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/40833576-5853-4ca4-95cf-b5b1d69f465f/sharepoint-rest-and-c-sample-to-update-list-item?forum=sharepointdevelopment
I am having a tough time figuring out the issue though. I have been able to retrieve list items, but now I want to update those items. This is the following code just to get the digest information with passing in credentials:
public static string GetFormDigest(System.Net.NetworkCredential cred)
string formDigest = null;
string resourceUrl = "https://SITEURL/_api/contextinfo";
HttpWebRequest wreq = HttpWebRequest.Create(resourceUrl) as HttpWebRequest;
wreq.Credentials = cred;
wreq.Method = "POST";
wreq.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";
wreq.ContentLength = 0;
wreq.ContentType = "application/json";
string result;
WebResponse wresp = wreq.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wresp.GetResponseStream()))
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
var jss = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var val = jss.Deserialize<Dictionary<string, object>>(result);
var d = val["d"] as Dictionary<string, object>;
var wi = d["GetContextWebInformation"] as Dictionary<string, object>;
formDigest = wi["FormDigestValue"].ToString();
Console.WriteLine(formDigest);
return formDigest;
Then the following code is used:
string result = string.Empty;
Uri uri = new Uri(sharepointUrl.ToString() + "/_api/Web/lists/getByTitle('DemoList')/items(1)");
HttpWebRequest wreq = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
wreq.Credentials = cred;
wreq.Method = "POST";
wreq.Accept = "application/json; odata=verbose";
wreq.ContentType = "application/json; odata=verbose";
wreq.Headers.Add( "X-HTTP-Method","MERGE");
wreq.Headers.Add( "IF-MATCH", "*");
wreq.Headers.Add("X-RequestDigest", GetFormDigest(cred));
string stringData = "{'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Data.DemoListListItem' }, 'Title': 'updated!'}";
wreq.ContentLength = stringData.Length;
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(wreq.GetRequestStream());
writer.Write(stringData);
writer.Flush();
try {
WebResponse wresp2 = wreq.GetResponse();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(wresp2.GetResponseStream()))
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("An error occurred: '{0}'", e); }
It errors out when it tries to send the command to Sharepoint. I am NOT using a sharepoint hosted app. I just wanted to directly contact sharepoint and update items. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Priyank

I just found some other code that seemed to work on editing a title and edited it kind of guessing it would work and it did!
This is the code that ended working using the same digest code from above:
Console.WriteLine("\n Newer Fancier Code \n");
Uri uri = new Uri("https://SHAREPOINTURL/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('Demo')/items(1)");
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
request.ContentType = "application/json;odata=verbose";
request.Headers["X-RequestDigest"] = GetFormDigest(cred);
request.Headers["X-HTTP-Method"] = "MERGE";
request.Headers["IF-MATCH"] = "*";
request.Credentials = cred;
request.Accept = "application/json;odata=verbose";
request.Method = "POST";
string stringData = "{ '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.ListItem' }, 'Location': 'updatedinfo' }";
request.ContentLength = stringData.Length;
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(request.GetRequestStream());
writer.Write(stringData);
writer.Flush();
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
Just fyi if anyone was wondering. Next, I'm going to be trying to update multiple fields, possibly multiple items if possible if anyone knows how to do that.

Workflow - how to update multiple list items

Is it possible to update up to 3 list items with the same information using a workflow? My scenario is where a company vehicle (registration number) has up to three drivers assigned to it - Driver Name 1, Driver Name 2 and Driver Name 3. I
have two separate lists - one for vehicles (fleet list) and one for drivers (driver database). In my workflow when an item is created or changed in the fleet list, I would like the current vehicle registration to be updated in all three driver records
in the driver database. I am not sure if I can do this as I am unsure of what my unique look up would be as I need to be able to tie a vehicle registration to a driver name. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

How to Disable Event firing while updating a list item using poweshell

Hi All,
I am working on a powershell code which updates most of the list items in the entire web application. I am using SystemUpdate($false) to update the items so that 'modified' and 'modified By' and versions are not changed.
However event receivers gets fired which is now a problem. I want to disable the Event receivers before update and enable it after update. I want powershell code for this. I am using SharePoint 2010.
Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you in anticipation.

How to update selected list items in SharePoint 2010?

Hello All
I have a list containing field named "Category". I want to develope a solution which will take two inputs: Old Category and New Category. The expected result is: all the list items will be fetched which have Old Category input value in
their category field and the field is replaced with the input value New Category.
I have a limitation that I can not use Visual Studio. So I am thinking to create aspx page with content editor webpart. But I am new to all these things. Could you please suggest the development approach for this?
Thanks.

Hello,
I don't think CEWP can help you because you won't be able to find old and new category when there is any change in list. However you can identify the latest modified item from list but how will you identify whether category is old or new. If you have any
other column in list which can tell you that category value has been updated then you can write ECMA or Jquery script to update other items.
If have any column in list then see below jquery code, where you will see how to query the list: (In my case it is Active)
var soapEnv = "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><soapenv:Body><GetListItems xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/'>";
soapEnv += "<listName>Highlights</listName>";
soapEnv += "<query><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Active' /><Value Type='Text'>Yes</Value></Eq></Where><OrderBy Override='TRUE'><FieldRef Name='Modified' Ascending='FALSE' /></OrderBy></Query></query>";
soapEnv += "<viewFields><ViewFields><FieldRef Name='Title'/><FieldRef Name='ows_FileLeafRef'/><FieldRef Name='Links'/></ViewFields></viewFields><rowLimit></rowLimit>";
soapEnv += "</GetListItems></soapenv:Body></soapenv:Envelope>";

You can use the "Build Dynamic String" action to convert the date field to a string,
And use string comparison to determine if the date is blank

Tutorial on how to update list items using ListData.svc

I created an ASP.NET web application that allows the user to modify data that is stored in SharePoint I rather not go into the reasons why this application was created but focus more on why doesn't the listdata.svc allow me to update a task item that was
created by a workflow collect data from user action.
1. The workflow creates the item.
I collect the item and update the item using the below code. This is not an OOTB approval workflow that is just the name I used. When I get to save changes I received the following error code.
Dim getApprovalItem As ExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksItem = spContext.ExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasks.Where(Function(i) i.Id = Pam.ApprovalItemID).FirstOrDefault
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(getApprovalItem.AuditorApprovalValue) Then
getApprovalItem.AuditingComments = approvalComments
Select Case approvalDecision
Case "Approved"
getApprovalItem.AuditorApproval = ExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksAuditorApprovalValue.CreateExpenseApprovalRuleBasedTasksAuditorApprovalValue("Approved")
getApprovalItem.AuditorApprovalValue = "Approved"
Case "Rejected"

Any help?

Hi patrik
Really appreciate your replying.
Could you try and refer to the issues below:
this error occurs even with site collection administrator (i tested it with three different
users)
there isnt any difference between items in list - all have same permissions
it occurs in several lists in site (all lists have same permissions)
if browsing inside the LAN everything works just fine
updating from the UI works fine in all means
It really seems like a Rest related problem(is there anyone from the Microsoft REST team who can take look at this error?)
Thanks

Using REST API: Query search box to return list items

Hey,
My goal is to create a search box which returns the items (matching to the name) from a list.
Bonus: The return would happen without requiring user to click a
Search button or such.
To achieve this I assume the SharePoint 2013's REST API should be used. I'm completely inexperienced in using the REST API so all kind of suggestions are available.

Hi,
Here are some articles about SharePoint 2013 REST API for your reference:

Update a list item after a task is completed

Hi,
I have a sharepoint workflow, where I am creating a workflow and the workflow steps involves assigning a task. How do I Update a list item after the task is completed? So after the task assignment step, how do I check that the task is completed so I can
update a list item?
Please help.
techie

Hi,
According to your description, you might want to update a list item after a task is completed in SharePoint Designer workflow.
By default, the workflow will stuck at a “Assign a task” action. When the “Task Status” become “Completed”, other actions afterwards will go on.
Here is a demo about how to update a list item after a task is completed in my environment:
You can follow the steps above to make a test in your environment to see if this is what you want.

A ListItem has its own unique row id so in all likelihood, an insert with the same data will result in a new list entry. The Lists Web Service however, has an UpdateListItem method which will take an update request. [refer
