BadRequest? Is there any bad syntax?

API Support
1

I sent:
{“amount”:{“currency”:“USD”,“value”:“0.01”},"_links":{“destination”:{“href”:“https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/funding-sources/524e1a62-017a-4409-ad27-577952b138f0"},“source”:{“href”:"https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/accounts/a320cfe7-5d86-4582-80f9-4d273c162ace”}}}

Response from sandbox:
{header=null, body={“code”:“BadRequest”,“message”:“The request body contains bad syntax or is incomplete.”}}

The request URL:
String transferUrl = "https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/transfers

Anyone can help me to solve this problem?
Thanks a lot.

Hi @Richard,

Looks like it’s the double quotes in the request-body that is causing the issue. I tried calling the API with the above request, and it worked for me when I changed the quotation marks from “ ” to " ".

It is also best practice to use the the funding-source ID of the accounts when creating transfers, and not the account ID.

Here’s my request-body:

{
    "amount": {
        "currency": "USD",
        "value": "0.01"
    },
    "_links": {
        "destination": {
            "href": "https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/funding-sources/{{FundingSourceId}}"
        },
        "source": {
            "href": "https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/funding-sources/{{FundingSourceId}}"
        }
    }
}

Let me know if that works when you try it on your machine.
