Having issue creating a MoneyTransactionCreateInput

PabloEsco

Following this action [https://developer.waveapps.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019968212-API-Reference#moneytransactioncreateinput]

I'm using Python requests to connect with Wave API.

query = """ mutation ($input: MoneyTransactionCreateInput!) {moneyTransactionCreate(input: $input) {moneyTransaction {id externalId date description anchor{accountId amount direction} lineItems[{accountId amount balance}]}}}"""

moneyTransaction = {'businessId':'5ODAtNzQ3OS00ZGQ4LTg5NWYtMzU4ZWNiNDNmMTI2', 
    'externalId':'21', 'date':'2020-05-16', 'description':'my money', 'anchor':{'accountId':'1', 
    'amount':'15.00', 'direction':'DEPOSIT'},
    'lineItems':[{'accountId':'1', 'amount':'15.00', 'balance':'CREDIT'}]}

variables = {'input': moneyTransaction}

 rex = requests.post(wave_url, json={'query':query, 'variables':variables}, headers=after_headers)

I got this error:

'{"errors":[{"extensions":{"id":"e6b88a8d-a5f8-4331-80db-191dbb319690","code":"GRAPHQL_PARSE_FAILED"},"message":"Syntax Error: Expected Name, found [","locations":[{"line":1,"column":183}]}]}\n'

I'm missing something but can't figure out the issue. I'm new to Graphql.

Hi @PabloEsco,

Can you try changing the mutation definition you are submitting. Try replacing moneyTransaction {id externalId date description anchor{accountId amount direction} lineItems[{accountId amount balance}]} with transaction { id }. This portion is about describing the data to be returned upon completion and needs to be something the server allows to be returned.

Here is the operation formatted for human readability, although it can be condensed as you have done originally.

Mutation:

mutation ($input: MoneyTransactionCreateInput!) {
  moneyTransactionCreate(input: $input) {
    transaction {
      id
    }
  }
}

Variables:

{
  "input": {
    "businessId": "5ODAtNzQ3OS00ZGQ4LTg5NWYtMzU4ZWNiNDNmMTI2",
    "externalId": "21",
    "date": "2020-05-16",
    "description": "my money",
    "anchor": {
      "accountId": "1",
      "amount": "15.00",
      "direction": "DEPOSIT"
    },
    "lineItems": [
      {
        "accountId": "1",
        "amount": "15.00",
        "balance": "CREDIT"
      }
    ]
  }
}

There is the Playground tool that can be used to try to help build and run queries/mutations in case you are unsure about the validity of the operation.
