Urgent Help Needed: API Working in Postman but Failing in Glific

[akanshaaa19]

Summary

GitHub Issue Summary

Problem Statement: API request works in Postman but returns a "parameter missing" error in Glific.

Expected Result: The API should return a successful response (200-299 status code) with the same parameters used in Postman.

Actual Result: Received a "parameter missing" error, specifically:
TypeError: start_quiz() missing 3 required positional arguments: 'student_id', 'course_level', and 'quiz_id'.

Error Message:

{"exception":"TypeError: start_quiz() missing 3 required positional arguments: 'student_id', 'course_level', and 'quiz_id'","exc":"[\"Traceback (most recent call last):\\n  File \\\"apps/frappe/frappe/app.py\\\", line 103, in application\\n    response = frappe.api.handle()\\n  ..."]}

Reproduction Steps:

1. Send a POST request to https://lms.evalix.xyz/api/method/tap_lms.summer_program.student_progression_sp.start_quiz in Postman with the following body:

   {
     "student_id": "ST00000206",
     "course_level": "Level 1-Arts-C0070",
     "quiz_id": "QUIZ-MATH-W2-Basic"
   }

2. Include the following authentication headers:

   authorization: token xxxx
   Accept: application/json
   

3. Verify the response in Glific with the same parameters.

Notes: The error seems to indicate that the parameters are not being correctly passed in the API request when called from Glific. Further investigation may be needed to check how Glific handles parameter transmission compared to Postman.

Original message

Hi <@1132952719586492478> ,
There is one API that we have built. When I use this API in Postman and send the request, it gives the proper response. However, when I use the same API in Glific with the exact same parameters, it shows a “parameter missing” error.
I am passing the exact same parameters that I am using in Postman, so I’m not sure what is causing the issue.

Could you please help me identify and fix this?

This is a priority task, so it would be really helpful if you could assist as soon as possible.
