.NET Server-Side Post to Web API using Editor

fabiomoggi

I am developing a .NET Web API project based on Editor that will play as the REST API server to my suite of apps.

One of the apps is a console application responsible for reading a local database and upload data to the API.

I was able to follow Editor's examples and documentation to have the API up and running - it is doing CRUD operations triggered by the front-end web site. However, I am struggling with uploading data from anywhere else than the web site app. Specifically, I have this console app on .NET and would like to upload data to the API using JSON. I managed to convert my C# classes into JSON files using newtonsoft.json, however, Editors does not create or update data, neither throws any exception, leaving the impression it is just ignoring the POST request.

I turned on Fiddler to help me understand how the website posts data to the API server and I realized it was not in the JSON format. Instead, it was a string attached to the request body. That path would be very time consuming as I would need to go through every single class attribute, read its value and concatenate a string to simulate the form post.

Has anyone been through this before? Is it possible to post a json to Editor persist on database?

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
