Python script fails POSTing some data.

Dear All,
I’m having hard time figuring why I’m getting back this error after making a POST:

{"code":"cant_update_item","message":"Cannot update item","data":{"status":500}}

the data that I’m posting is this one:

post = { 'allega_file' : { '_file' : [232] } }

where ‘allega_file’ is an ACF that contains a repeater field ‘_file’ where the id of the file is attached.

I thought was an Authorization error but, after producing one of those I saw that the feedback it’s completely different.
I took the reference on how structuring the repeater JSON from this POST

do you guys know where I’m doing it wrong?
I’m attaching here the simple script that I’m using to test the ACF.

To authenticate I’m using this WordPress plugin

thankyou

Hi @entalpia,

Your data structure isn’t right.

You need to use the key fields, see below:
{ fields: { 'allega_file' : { '_file' : [232] } } }

Thanks

Hi @airesvsg,

thank you for your answer,

I’ve tried using the data structure you have described before but it’s still behaving in the same way.

{ 'fields' : { 'allega_file' : { '_file' : [232] } } }

Here attached you can find a screenshot of the ACF backend interface

in the script, I’m doing the POST at http://www.mysite.com/wp-json/acf/v2/page/149 endpoint, it should be right

thank you

Hi @airesvsg,

I’ve tried to change the API to V3 but it’s doing the same,
After posting this question on StackOverflow (https://goo.gl/gDXLYS) a user suggests me to check the error.log but unfortunately does not show issues related to this. The access.log it’s showing my attempt to access to the endpoint, showing a 500 error but the error.log is empty.

can you please give me some hint about which could be the error?
I’m using a third party plugin (https://goo.gl/gVp7Bu) to access the WP api, could be this the problem?

best
