Issue with uploading multi-line Markdown files to Sanity using the API

Hey everyone. Hoping you can help me with something.
I am trying to upload Markdown files to Sanity using the Sanity API. I am submitting a POST request using Python's

requests

library. My API call returns an HTTP 400 whenever I try to submit multi-line Markdown files, which is a problem. Here is some sample code, if it helps:

headers = {

'Authorization': f'Bearer {SANITY_API_TOKEN}',

'Content-Type': 'application/json',

}

data = f'''{{"mutations":[

{{"createOrReplace": {{

"_id": "AAPL",

"_type": "dataFeed",

"slug": "aapl",

"postType": "stock",

"publishedAt": "2020-08-08",

"title": "Apple Inc. (AAPL)",

"body": "I want this to be a multi-line string, but it returns HTTP 400 when I submit one "

}}}}

]}}'''

response = <http://requests.post|requests.post>('https://{project ID}.<http://api.sanity.io/v1/data/mutate/production|api.sanity.io/v1/data/mutate/production>', headers=headers, data=data)

Hi there !
I just tested your request in Postman, and it seems like the json is not formatted correctly. Can you try this, it works for me in Postman at least:

that one returns a 400 response too. HEre's an example of the data (without interpolation) that returns a successful 200 response

{"mutations":[

{"createOrReplace": {

"_id": "FB",

"_type": "dataFeed",

"slug": "FB",

"postType": "stock",

"publishedAt": "2020-08-08",

"title": "Facebook, Inc. (FB)",

"body": "Multi line string location"

}}

]}

I just need to figuer out how to replace "multi line string location" with a multi-line string

are you encoding your new line characters? like

\n

?

when I add an

\n

it returns an HTTP 400 response

Here's the sample

{"mutations":[

{"createOrReplace": {

"_id": "FB",

"_type": "dataFeed",

"slug": "FB",

"postType": "stock",

"publishedAt": "2020-08-08",

"title": "Facebook, Inc. (FB)",

"body": "Multi line

string location"

}}

]}

the string needs to contain the

\n

like ``Multi line \n string location.` You can't have actual new lines in a string, so you need to encode those to a

\n

character.

this is my full mutation that works:

I got it to work! Thank you SO much!

Kool kool kool! Happy to help!
