Hi there,
I was trying to create an api that updates the customfields of WHMCS. Our api backend is in golang using the echo framework. This is how I am trying to make the request
func updateShowOnboard(c echo.Context) error {
var customFieldsArray []*CustomFields
customField := &CustomFields{}
customField.id = 3
customField.value = "panelPassword"
customFieldsArray = append(customFieldsArray, customField)
customField1 := &CustomFields{}
customField1.id = 7
customField1.value = "howdidyoufindus"
customFieldsArray = append(customFieldsArray, customField1)
customField2 := &CustomFields{}
customField2.id = 8
customField2.value = "gstinhere"
customFieldsArray = append(customFieldsArray, customField2)
customField3 := &CustomFields{}
customField3.id = 11
customField3.value = "No"
customFieldsArray = append(customFieldsArray, customField3)
finalcustomfieldArray, err8 := json.Marshal(customFieldsArray)
if err8 != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, errorMsg(err8))
}
url := os.Getenv("WHMCS_ENDPOINT")
method := "POST"
payload := &bytes.Buffer{}
writer := multipart.NewWriter(payload)
_ = writer.WriteField("username", os.Getenv("WHMCS_IDENTIFIER"))
_ = writer.WriteField("password", os.Getenv("WHMCS_SECRET"))
_ = writer.WriteField("clientid", "490")
_ = writer.WriteField("customfields", string(finalcustomfieldArray))
_ = writer.WriteField("responsetype", "json")
_ = writer.WriteField("action", "UpdateClient")
err1 := writer.Close()
if err1 != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, errorMsg(err1))
}
client := &http.Client{}
req, err2 := http.NewRequest(method, url, payload)
if err2 != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, errorMsg(err2))
}
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", writer.FormDataContentType())
res, err3 := client.Do(req)
if err3 != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, errorMsg(err3))
}
defer res.Body.Close()
body, err4 := io.ReadAll(res.Body)
if err4 != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, errorMsg(err4))
}
m := map[string]string{}
json.Unmarshal(body, &m)
if m["result"] != "success" {
return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, errorJSON{"Some error occured"})
}
return c.JSON(http.StatusOK, m)
}
as you can see that I am creating an array and appending customfields object with id and value to it, later I am converting it into json and converting the json to a string value and passing it to the customfields field in the payload. I get success message from the api but the values don’t change.
If you could point me to right direction that would be immensely helpful thanks.
