[SOLVED] Adding a document using Rest API
Hello, I have created a sign up form in my app and currently using the Rest API server side to create a new user like:
TypeScript
payload['email'] = email;
payload['password'] = password;
const response = await fetch(`${AppwriteEndpoint}/account/sessions/email`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-Appwrite-Project': AppwriteProject
},
body: JSON.stringify(payload)
});```
I need to create a document in a collection called userData which will hold other information about the user, I looked over the Rest API docs but i can not find how to create a document or the correct endpoint. I am not even sure this is possible.
Thanks for any advice.
TL;DR
User was looking for help on how to add a document to a collection using the REST API. They initially found the solution in the documentation by changing the platform to REST. Another user pointed out that there are two separate POST requests, but the original user mentioned they had already figured it out.
Solution: To add a document using the REST API, the original user used the following code:
```
const testPayload = {
'documentId': 'unique()',
'data': {
'firstName': 'Test',
'lastName': 'Person',
'handle': 'testperson',
'email': 'test@testI think i figured it out.
TypeScript
'documentId': 'unique()',
'data': {
'firstName': 'Test',
'lastName': 'Person',
'handle': 'testperson',
'email': 'test@test.com',
}
}
const test = await fetch(`${AppwriteEndpoint}/databases/${Database.id}/collections/${Collection.userData}/documents`, {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'X-Appwrite-Project': AppwriteProject,
'X-Appwrite-Key': PRIVATE_APPWRITE_KEY,
},
body: JSON.stringify(testPayload)
});```
Hey, these are 2 completely seperate POST requests, are you still in need of help?
No I solved the problem by trial and error. I wanted to know how i can add a document to a collection via REST API. I found how to do it in the docs by changing the platform to REST. Thanks anyway!
