Python SDK: users.get(user_id) error : 400 request cannot have request body

I am using the Python SDK version 9.0.3 (latest) and I am seeing this generic HTTP error pop up.

400 request cannot have request body

The code is dead simple :

TypeScript

from appwrite.client import Client
from appwrite.services.databases import Databases
from appwrite.services.users import Users
from appwrite.exception import AppwriteException

from app.core.config import settings

client = Client()
(client
  .set_endpoint(settings.appwrite_endpoint)
  .set_project(settings.appwrite_project_id)
  .set_key(settings.appwrite_api_key)
)

database = Databases(client)
users = Users(client)

def verify_user_id(user_id: str) -> bool:
    try:
        users.get(user_id)
        return True
    except AppwriteException as e:
        print(f"Error verifying user ID '{user_id}' : {e.code} {e.response} {e.message}")
        return False

Other support requests seem to have the same problem since the release of the Network feature.

Has anyone found a fix for this?

TL;DR

Developers using Python SDK version 9.0.3 are encountering a '400 request cannot have request body' error when using the `users.get(user_id)` function. This error seems to be linked to the Network feature update. A potential fix for this issue has not been identified at this time.

Well the dirty way around is directly using client.call with the proper api path and params. It's pretty annoying but you can copy it from the implementation of the function you are trying to call itself. Also it should only concern GET endpoints

you could write your own functions by copying the SDK implem and simply removing the content-type header

Some more investigation later, it seems like this only occurs when using the new "region" endpoints (for me https://fra.cloud.appwrite.io/v1 ) as when using the basic https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1/ with the 'content-type': 'application/json' I dont get the 400 request cannot have request body error. This does seem to be some kind of early routing strategy where the request is thown away if it is both GET and has the application/json header

@Kenny Could we get someone from their side to confirm this? Seems like a pretty serious issue as it is happening at the REST API level and not at SDK level

I've posted this issue in the channel we have with the core team, so hopefully someone sees it if it isn't already a known issue they're working on.

thank you. Keep me posted if they need anything even though this seems pretty easy to fix

They are looking into the issue and working on a fix.

@lucas 🚀 a workaround that worked for me was to directly call the client.call method and pass in the params necessary for your case. I was fetching a bucket so this worked client.call("get", path=f"/storage/buckets/{APP_WRITE_BUCKET_ID}")
