MessagingService Open Cloud Issue

Zek4ry · September 9, 2022, 12:15pm

I’m currently working on something on PlayFab using the OpenCloud API w/ Messaging Service.

For some reason I keep getting an error of ‘Request Body not in correct format’.

handlers.matchFound = function (args, context) {
    var psEvent = context.playStreamEvent;
    
    var result2 = http.request('https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/10555812668/servers/Public?sortOrder=Desc&excludeFullGames=false&limit=10', 'get', '{}', "application/json", null);
    var randomServer = JSON.parse(result2).data[0].id
    var TicketIds = psEvent.Payload.TicketIds
    var MatchId = psEvent.Payload.MatchId
    
    var body = {
        "message": {
            "matchID": MatchId,
            "TicketIds": TicketIds,
            "MasterServer": randomServer
        }
    };
    var content = JSON.stringify(body);
    var headers = {
        "x-api-key": "myapikey"
    }
    
    var result = http.request('https://apis.roblox.com/messaging-service/v1/universes/3835702677/topics/PLAYFAB', 'post', content, 'application/json', headers);
    return { result, content };
};

The raw content that is being sent is

"{\"message\":{\"matchID\":\"a4bc51f9-e354-4692-a06e-3bf464ff07c8\",\"TicketIds\":[\"84da4a3e-a196-4338-9eed-4494b70f8cb1\",\"93bc94e0-6ce9-41b6-9bbf-c1d0aedc84da\"],\"MasterServer\":\"11b3c3ec-5848-475c-82e0-943bbf1302db\"}}"

I’m struggling to understand why this is throwing an error, but the error is the same everytime.

If anyone knows why it might be throwing this issue please help! lol

Just in-case anyone comes across a similar issue in future, it turns out when posting through, any deep arrays have to be wrapped in a stringify to send across, didn’t realise this was the case but I guess its because JavaScript and Lua are completely different.

Here’s what I did -

handlers.matchFound = function (args, context) {
    var psEvent = context.playStreamEvent;
    
    var result2 = http.request('https://games.roblox.com/v1/games/10555812668/servers/Public?sortOrder=Desc&excludeFullGames=false&limit=10', 'get', '{}', "application/json", null);
    log.info(result2)
    var randomServer = JSON.parse(result2).data[0].id
    var TicketIds = psEvent.Payload.TicketIds
    var MatchId = psEvent.Payload.MatchId
    
    var body = {
        "message": JSON.stringify({
            "masterServer": randomServer,
            "MatchID": MatchId,
            "TicketIds": JSON.stringify(TicketIds)
        })
    };
    var content = JSON.stringify(body);
    var headers = {
        "x-api-key": "API_KEY"
    }
    
    var result = http.request('https://apis.roblox.com/messaging-service/v1/universes/3835702677/topics/PLAYFAB', 'post', content, 'application/json', headers);
    return { result, content };
};
