getting response Text/html rather then JSON body

[Suchin 0]

Hello sir,

when we pass parameter on demo account for below link

POST https://ciapi.cityindex.com/TradingAPI/order/newstoplimitorder

And got below response header with status code 200.

StatusCode: 200, ReasonPhrase: 'OK', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.HttpConnectionResponseContent, Headers:
{
  Cache-Control: private
  Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.5
  X-AspNetMvc-Version: 5.2
  X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
  X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
  Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2020 05:52:21 GMT
  Connection: keep-alive
  Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
  Content-Length: 2953
}

Now in content type it is text/html rather then JSON.

we are making programming in C#. we are getting getting difficult to get retrieve the response body is the ApiTradeOrderResponseDTO in JSON format as suggest on gain capital "http://docs.labs.gaincapital.com/index.html#HTTP Services/Order.htm?Highlight=newstoplimitorder".

So please give us solution for this issue.

Hi Suchin,

The response for an entry order call is coming back as JSON from the server. I'm not sure what your initial call looks like that would return text/html, however the server is returning responses correctly.

Kind Regards, PM

Hi Suchin,

In your request Header, have you specified the "Content-Type" to be "application/json"?

? 

 

As a side note: although this does not affect the response type your request will fail as your order size of 1 is below the minimum spot FX size of 1,000. You'll need to send the order size within valid bounds of min/max size.

Kind Regards, PM

If we same above request make through postman then error give 401 session is invalid.

we also tried using C# as below syntax

var NewOrder = new newstoplimitorder() { UserName = "DC*****", Session = user.Session };
                            NewOrder.isTrade = false;
                            NewOrder.AutoRollover = false;
                            NewOrder.AuditId = "LU22344697";
                            NewOrder.Currency = "USD";
                            NewOrder.LastChangedDateTimeUTC = null;
                            NewOrder.MarketName = "AUD/CAD";
                            NewOrder.BidPrice = 0.948050;
                            NewOrder.PositionMethodId = 1;
                            NewOrder.Direction = "buy";
                            NewOrder.ExpiryDateTimeUTCDate = null;
                            NewOrder.Status = null;
                            NewOrder.MarketId = 401484300;
                            NewOrder.LastChangedDateTimeUTCDate = null;
                            NewOrder.Reference = null;
                            NewOrder.OfferPrice = 0.948310;
                            NewOrder.TriggerPrice = 0.948500;
                            NewOrder.OrderId = null;
                            NewOrder.Quantity = 1005;
                            NewOrder.QuoteId = null;
                            NewOrder.IfDone = false;
                            NewOrder.TradingAccountId = ******;
                            NewOrder.OcoOrder = null;
                            NewOrder.Type = null;
                            NewOrder.Applicability = "GTC";
                            NewOrder.ExpiryDateTimeUTC = null;

                            sURL = sMainURL + "order/newstoplimitorder";
                            var postNewOrder = client.PostAsJsonAsync<newstoplimitorder>(sMainURL, NewOrder);
                            postNewOrder.Wait();

                            HttpResponseMessage responseNewOrder = postNewOrder.Result;
                            //HttpResponseHeader responsemsg = new HttpResponseHeader();
                            //responsemsg = responseNewOrder.TrailingHeaders;
                            if (responseNewOrder.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                            {
                                object responseContentNewOrder = await responseNewOrder.Content.ReadAsAsync<object>();

}

Hi Suchin,

From the error message, are you passing the authentication message through with your call in the headers? Every call sent through the API must contain the authentication of your accoutn username and the login session you receive back in reponse to the login request. For eample, your trade request header should have the following:

Thanks for above reply with this update we got order id. as we are passing username,session,content-type in body so we changed it to Headers and we got response with order Id.

Now we are trying this to make call from .Net C#.

Can you suggest how to pass header parameter from it??

Hi Suchin,

Glad to hear the error code 401 is now resolved. 

Unfortunately, we are not able to provide assistance in C#.Net coding.
