In the API playground, I can change a column value using


mutation {change_simple_column_value (board_id: 12345, item_id: 54321, column_id: "text3", value: "{00002_0000067584}") {id}}


But if I send the folowing in my JSON request to the API endpoint, I get a 500 error


{"mutation": "mutation {change_simple_column_value (board_id: 12345, item_id: 54321, column_id: "text3", value: "{00002_0000067584}}") {id}}"}


I have also tried without the {} but I get the same error.


My guess is I am constructing the JSON incorrectly to resolve to GraphQL but I have exhausted different approaches, what am I doing wrong?

Hello there,


I am not sure how you are sending the HTTP request but I have a few notes that might help:


This is not a REST API, it is GraphQL.


The request is always a POST request


The endpoint is always the same one: https://api.monday.com/v2 (unless you are uploading a file)


Here is a Postman example on change_simple_column_value


As you can see in that example, you can use something like this (again, this is Postman):


{

    "query": "mutation {change_simple_column_value(item_id: 1234567890, board_id: 1122334455, column_id: \\"text\\", value: \\"Some text\\") {id}}" 

}

I hope that helps!

Thank you that solved it, two issues


I did not have the /" escape and I was also sending “mutation” instead of “query” at the start of the string.


Changed that and it worked straight away, thank you
