Hi,

I have a POST request to create a customer with special characters in its name using API. I created an API page of customer and published it.

When I am sending a POST request with special characters, its not creating it correctly. I am testing with Postman and below are my results.

How can this be done? Do I need to add any header value?

Hi Nitin Verma

I can see its working at your end. Have you used the standard customer api page? I am testing it with a custom created api page.

Could that be the issue?

Yes, I am doing with standard one, if you are using custom one, you need to check what is wrong your side.

Thanks.

Hi Nitin Verma

Its a strange thing for me but the problem got solved by putting the field name in LOWERCASE letters.

previously my Json body was

{ "Name": "CANON ESPAÑA Nº1 5 €" }

After changing it to the LOWERCASE it works fine.

Thanks

Its strange. Are you using standard Customer table behind the API?
