What causes "Request body doesn't fulfill schema" error from GoDaddy API?

The secrets are printing fine. But I just can’t get the format right.

def search_domains_on_godaddy(domains):
    GODADDY_KEY = os.getenv('GODADDY_KEY')
    GODADDY_SECRET = os.getenv('GODADDY_SECRET')
    print("GODADDY_KEY", GODADDY_KEY)
    print("GODADDY_SECRET", GODADDY_SECRET)
    
    headers = {
        'Authorization': f'sso-key {GODADDY_KEY}:{GODADDY_SECRET}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    }


    # Prepare the payload
    payload = {"domains": domains, "checkType": "FAST"}
    
    print("payload", payload)
    
    # Send POST request to check domain availability
    response = requests.post('https://api.ote-godaddy.com/v1/domains/available', json=payload, headers=headers)
    
    print("Response Status Code: ", response.status_code)
    print("Response Headers: ", response.headers)
    print("Response from godaddy: ", response.json())
    
    if 'domains' in response.json():
        available_domains = [item['domain'] for item in response.json()['domains'] if item['available']]
    else:
        available_domains = []
    
    return available_domains

The response I’m getting:

**Response from godaddy:  {'code': 'INVALID_BODY', 'message': "Request body doesn't fulfill schema"}**

The API docs I’ve been referencing: https://developer.godaddy.com/doc/endpoint/domains#/v1/availableBulk

>Solution :

As per the docs, checkType is a query parameter, also the body should just be an array instead of an object.

So your requests.post call should be:

response = requests.post('https://api.ote-godaddy.com/v1/domains/available', params={"checkType": "FAST"}, json=domains, headers=headers)

or alternatively:

response = requests.post('https://api.ote-godaddy.com/v1/domains/available?checkType=FAST', json=domains, headers=headers)
