Api's return with UnsupportedMediaType

June 21, 2024

i can’t get around using json to insert data into an api call.

I tried some simple code but it just doesn’t work

import json
import requests

url = "https://presence.roblox.com/v1/presence/users"
body = json.dumps({"userIds": [1]})

response = requests.post(url, data=body)
presence = response.json()

print(presence)

im trying to set a parameter "userIds" so i can list the ids i want to check with the API, but im just confused.

error message: {‘errors’: [{‘code’: 0, ‘message’: ‘UnsupportedMediaType’}]}

>Solution :

Server expects the request body to be in JSON format. You Have to specify the content-type.

import json
import requests

url = "https://presence.roblox.com/v1/presence/users"

# Specify JSON content type
headers = {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}

body = json.dumps({"userIds": [1]})

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=body)
presence = response.json()

print(presence)
