Rest API Error

I need to access the REST interface for a document library.
http://intranet/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/DocumentLibrary/
This did work but has recently been giving an error. IE doesn't display the page at all, but chrome gives a lot more information.
IE:
The following tags were not closed: feed.
Line: 0 Character: 0
Chrome:
<m:error>
<m:code></m:code>
<m:message xml:lang="en-GB">An error occurred while processing this request.</m:message>
</m:error>
I have noticed if I add a filter to only display the top 845 entries the page loads correctly. Which makes me this the 846th document in the library is causing the problems. How do I troubleshoot this?
$top=845

Hi,
According to your description, there is an issue when calling REST interface in SharePoint 2010.
I would suggest you log some information to the console of the browser which should help to analyze the execution of the code during the request.
A working demo for your reference:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
var listUrl = 'http://sp/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/List1?$top=846';
$.getJSON(listUrl, function(data) {
console.log(data);
</script>
Or you can use Fiddler to monitor the request, it will give you more details about what would cause the error.
Feel free to reply if there any progress.
Thanks

Error while accessing SharePoint 2013 news feed REST api - "The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details."

Hi Experts,
I am facing an issue while accessing SharePoint 2013 news feed REST api URL <SiteCollectionURL>/_api/social.feed/my/news from browser giving error "The server encountered an
error processing the request. See server logs for more details."
This is happening after posting the image to news feed without entering any text or description with that. If i post an image with some text or description, then i can able to get the feeds. Or else if i delete the image post then also i can able to get
the feeds.
I can able to see below logs in log files.

Getting error while uploading multiple files in sharepoint hosted app in 2013 with REST API

Hi All,
In one of my tasks, I was struck with one issue, that is "While uploading multiple files into custom list with REST API".
Iam trying to upload multiple files in library with REST calls for an APP development, my issue is if i wants to upload 4 image at once its storing only
3 image file and further giving "Conflict" error". Below is the attached screenshot of exact error.
Error within screenshot are : status Code : 409
status Text :conflict
For this operation i am uploading different files as an attachment to an list item, below is the code used for uploading multiple files.
my code is
function PerformUpload(listName, fileName, listItem, fileData)
var urlOfAttachment="";
// var itemId = listItem.get_id();
urlOfAttachment = appWebUrl + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + listItem + ")/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='" + fileName + "')"
// use the request executor (cross domain library) to perform the upload
var reqExecutor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appWebUrl);
reqExecutor.executeAsync({
url: urlOfAttachment,
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": digest
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: fileData,
success: function (x, y, z) {
alert("Success!");
error: function (x, y, z) {
alert(z);

REST API: Create Deployment throwing error BadRequest (The specified configuration settings for Settings are invalid. Verify that the service configuration file is a valid XML file, and that role instance counts are specified as positive integers.)

Hi All,
We are trying to access the Create Deployment method stated below

Sharepoint-Hosted App giving FORBIDDEN error when i use REST Api

Hi,
I have created a sharepoint hosted app which will create Team site on button click.
I used REST Api and NAPA Tool to develop this app.
Napa tool gives to things ClientWebpart.aspx and Default.aspx.
When i run my Default.aspx code is working fine but ClientWebpart.aspx is giving FORBIDDEN error when i am trying to create site.
Below is the code which i used to create site
code:
var hostweburl;
var appweburl;
$(document).ready(function () {
hostweburl= decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl"));
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl"));
function createSPWeb() {

hostweburl + "'",
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(

"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
success: successHandler,

NOTE:This is on sharepoint online.
Please help

sudeep

So in the app you are testing, are you using the FQDN or the NetBIOS name? Bad practice but could you test with both (hard code the absolute URL for testing purposes) then retest your app?
If you are making a web part based on the new app model this will be an "app part" and probably have the same issues you are experiencing. If this is for something internal rather than a product you are developing to resell then the script editor /
content editor web part approach could work for you.

Hi Scott,
With EnableQueryRules and ProcessBestBets set to true in the search rest api, we can get the promoted results(best bets) in SharePoint 2013.
I recommend to type the search rest api URL in the browser directly and then check if the best bets are displayed at the top of the search results.
It will not displayed inside the table for normal results.
Please also make sure that the query text matches the query rule condition.
Thanks,
Victoria

401 Unauthorized Error when accessing a task from REST API which contains Role or Privilege in Access Control definition

Hi Team,
As of IDM 7.2 SP8 patch2, when we use Enterprise role or Privilege in the access control definition of a task, accessing this task from UI5 i.e REST API is giving unauthorized error even though user is already having the required role or privilege.
But the task is working fine if we use fixed user ID or keeping blank value in allowed users field.
Attached the current access control definition of the task we configured & the error message info for reference
Regards,
Venkata Bavirisetty

Hi Ralitsa,
Thanks for your response and sorry for late reply.
The XXXX in role is not used as a wild card. the name itself is in that format. I have searched the role and then selected from search list.
Let me know if you need any clarifications?
Refards,

Error Using REST API to Retrieve SharePoint content

I am developing a rather simple application that retrieves files from SharePoint using the REST Office 365 API. This is a batch job running in the background with no user interface so the following simple 2-step flow is what I'm doing:
(1) Requesting an Access Token from Azure AD (supplying client ID, client secret, resource, and grant_type=client_credentials)
(2) Invoke the SharePoint API (https://{base url}/_api/v1.0/Files) using the "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" as a request header .
That process seems pretty straightforward and sounds simple but I keep getting the following error :
401 Unauthorized
x-ms-diagnostics: 3001000;reason="There has been an error authenticating the request.";category="invalid_client"
Any idea what the problem is and how this can be resolved ? I have been stuck on this for days now. I would REALLY appreciate somebody's help with this. Thanks.
- CW

Hi,
According to the error message, the issue is related to Office 365 Rest API authentication.
I suggest you can check the detailed web request using Fiddler to check the access token is valid in the request.
Here are detailed articles for your reference:

How to create list items with multiple attachment files using rest api javascript

In one of user form I am using javascript rest api to create a list item with multiple attachment files. So far I am able to create list item and once created uploading an attachment file. But this is two step process first create an item and then upload
a file.
It create an additional version of the item which is not desired. Also I am not able find a way to attach multiple files in a go. Following is the code I am using.
createitem.executeAsync({
url: "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('UserForm')/items(1)/AttachmentFiles/add(FileName='" + aFile.name + "')",
method: "POST",
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
binaryStringRequestBody: true,
body: fileContent,
success: fnsuccess,
error: fnerror
So somehow I need to combine item attributes along with attachment files in body: param. I visited https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn531433.aspx#bk_ListItem but no success.
Appreciate any help.

Thanks Mahesh for the reply and post you share it was useful.
But this does not solve the core of the issue. You are uploading attachments after creation of item and multiple files are being attached in loop. This is kind of iterative update to an existing item with attachments. This will end up creating multiple versions.
What I am trying to achieve is to create an item along with multiple attachments in a go. No item updates further to attach a file.
Please suggest how this can be done in one go. SharePoint does it when one creates an item with multiple attachment.
Thanks for your reply.

How to write FQL in querytext field in SharePoint 2013 Search REST API?

I am having double quote symbol issue in my search app, same as http://www.silver-it.com/node/127 says.
To avoid this issue, I am trying to understand: is it possible to do search request in FQL to the 2013 Search REST web service?
I know that we can use KQL in querytext, like
http://sp2013/sites/search/_api/search/query?querytext='Title:"123#123"'&enablefql=false&rowlimit=100&selectproperties='Title'
But is it possible to write it in FQL? I found that there is a enableFQL property we can set in REST API. What's the function of it?
http://sp2013/sites/search/_api/search/query?querytext='test'&enablefql=true&rowlimit=100&selectproperties='Title'
http://sp2013/sites/search/_api/search/query?querytext='string("test case",mode="simpleall")'&enablefql=true&rowlimit=100&selectproperties='Title'
Right now, the two above requests just give me this error.
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
{"error":{"code":"-1, Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.REST.SearchServiceException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"We didn't understand your search terms. Make sure they're using proper

Trying to Access SharePoint 2013 Rest Api in HTML page but getting Mime Type Exception with Status Success

I am trying to invoke the SharePoint Rest Api using HTML page. I have included the Access Control Allow Origin to the web.config file. I am getting Readty State 4 and
Status Success but still I am getting the below error.
Refused to execute script from 'http://<server>/_api//web/lists?callback=jQuery172045857910416089_1430217181282&_=1430217363882' because its MIME
type ('application/atom+xml') is not executable, and strict MIME type checking is enabled.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#KMPDiscussions").click(function () {
//$.support.cors = true;
$.ajax({
url: "http://<server>/_api//web/lists",
dataType: "jsonp",
type: "GET",
method: "GET",
contentType: "application/javascript",
headers: {
"content-type":
"application/json;odata=verbose",
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
success: function onSuccess(data) {
alert("Inside Alert");
error: function onError(data){
alert("Error: "
+ data);
</script>
It always hits the error on callback.
Is there any other way that I can invoke SharePoint Rest Api from a Cross Domain. Please Help.

Add user to sharepoint group using REST API

I am trying to add a user to sharepoint group with following code
serviceUrl= Appweb + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/sitegroups("+GroupId+")/users?@target='host web'";
$.ajax({
url: serviceUrl,
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: 'json',
body: "{'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.User' },'LoginName':'i:0#.f|membership|'+email }",
headers: {"accept":"application/json;odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest":$("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
async: false,
success: function (data) {
alert('success');
error: function (data) {
alert('fail');
The request goes to error function. Response of the request is Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException and message is A node of type 'EndOfInput' was read from the JSON reader when trying to read the start of an entry. A 'StartObject' node was
expected
I tried the sample from following link but fail it
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn531432.aspx

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to add an user to a SharePoint group in host web from a SharePoint Hosted App using REST API.
Here is a working demo for your reference:
var hostweburl;
var appweburl;
$(document).ready(function () {
//Get the URI decoded URLs.
hostweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPHostUrl"));
appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter("SPAppWebUrl"));
// Resources are in URLs in the form:
// web_url/_layouts/15/resource
var scriptbase = hostweburl + "/_layouts/15/";
// SP.RequestExecutor.js to make cross-domain requests
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", loadPage);
// Utilities
// Retrieve a query string value.
// For production purposes you may want to use a library to handle the query string.
function getQueryStringParameter(paramToRetrieve)
var params = document.URL.split("?")[1].split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i = i + 1)
var singleParam = params[i].split("=");
if (singleParam[0] == paramToRetrieve) return singleParam[1];
function addUsersInGroup() {
var executor;
// Initialize the RequestExecutor with the app web URL.
executor = new SP.RequestExecutor(appweburl);
executor.executeAsync({
url: appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/sitegroups(8)/users?@target='" + hostweburl + "'",
method: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: 'json',
body: "{'__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.User' },'LoginName':'i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]'}",
headers: {
"Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest":$("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
success: addUsersInGroupSuccessHandler,
error: addUsersInGroupErrorHandler
function addUsersInGroupSuccessHandler(data)
console.log(data);
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
console.log(jsonObject);
function addUsersInGroupErrorHandler(data)
console.log(data);
var jsonObject = JSON.parse(data.body);
console.log(jsonObject);

How to send a encrypted packet to the REST API Service using Fiddler or Post Man

Hi,
I am trying to send encrypted (AES) JSON packet to the REST API on the Azure cloud using tools like Fiddler.
I am trying to use POST method and attaching the encrypted .aes file to the Fiddler tool.
I am getting the 3 types of error messages.
1) HTTP/1.1 502 Fiddler - DNS Lookup Failed
2) HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
3) HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required
I have tried with my company network and tried with external internet connection also.
Please help me.
Thank you!

Hi,
you can create a simple rest api on the Azure cloud, and then try to use fiddler to do some test, so that we can exclude the environment issue.
