Hi Colin,
Try to submit it just either as object or list of objects (not including
the outer "probes":). Like:
{"action":"add","requested":1,"type":"probes","value":"<p>"}
or
[{"action":"add","requested":1,"type":"probes","value":"<p>"},
{"action":"add"....} ]

I’m trying to add a probe, by probe number, to an existing, running
measurement, using curl, following the example and description on page
84 of the “RIPE Atlas API v2 manual”. However, I’m getting an error
message that does not clearly point me to the problem, and thus allow
me to correct my error.
Here’s what I’m entering (with the <…> as placeholders, explained below)
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json"
-X POST -d
'{"probes":[{"action":"add","requested":1,"type":"probes","value":"<p>"}]}'
https://atlas.ripe.net/api/v2/measurements/<m>/participation-requests/?key=<a>
where:
<p> is the number of the probe I’m trying to add, and I can access it
at https://atlas.ripe.net/probes/<p>
<m> is the measurement to which I’m trying to add it – it’s a running
measurement, and I can access it at
https://atlas.ripe.net/measurements/<m>
<a> is the API key, which is enabled and has “Update an existing
measurement” granted
The error I get back is:
{"error":{"status":400,"code":104,"detail":"JSON parse error - No JSON
object could be decoded","title":"Bad Request"}}
In case it’s relevant, I’m running curl 7.53.1 on Windows 10.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
