Anvil Q&A
1

I am trying to create Room (called “kkkk” )for video call using Daily API programmatically

I wrote this line in a server module:

import anvil.http
responce = anvil.http.request(url="https://api.daily.co/v1/rooms", method="POST", data = {"name" : "kkkk", "privacy": "private"}, headers={"authorization":"27375241a5e7eaac5573384c54db1717408f4c64fbb9bf113fa6cc49b35a0f52"})

But I have got Http Error Status: HTTP error 400
Please help , with my thanks

Hi @khalidmnabil,

This isn’t the best formulated question, take a look at

How to ask a good question

for tips for next time

Are you just missing "Bearer" from your "Authorization" header

You currently have

headers={"Authorization": "<Token>"}

But the docs suggest it should be

headers={"Authorization": "Bearer <Token>"}

You may also want to change your token since you’ve now made it public

I modified my code

import anvil.http
@anvil.server.callable
def Meating_CreateRoom ( ):
  responce = anvil.http.request(url="https://api.daily.co/v1/rooms", method="POST", data = {"name" : "kkkk", "privacy": "public"}, headers={"authorization":"Bearer 27375241a5e7eaac5573384c54db1717408f4c64fbb9bf113fa6cc49b35a0f52"})
 return responce

The Error still exists

All I Got from Documentations:
• From Daily Docs ( An introduction to room access control with Daily API meeting tokens)
Run the following curl command to create the room:

curl --request POST \
--url https://api.daily.co/v1/rooms \
--header 'authorization: Bearer INSERT_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE' \
--header 'content-type: application/json' \
--data '{"properties":{"owner_only_broadcast":true},"name":"test-room","privacy":"private"}'

• From Anvil Docs (Calling anvil.http.request)

resp = anvil.http.request(url="https://api.mysite.com/foo",
                    method="POST",
                    data="Data to post",
                    headers= {
                      "Authentication": "my-access-key",
                    })
print(f"Response MIME type: {resp.content_type}")

Please help

Try this instead

@anvil.server.callable
def get_meeting( ):
    try:
      resp = anvil.http.request("https://api.daily.co/v1/rooms", 
                                  method="POST", 
                                  data={"name": "kkkk", "privacy": "public"},
                                  json=True,
                                  headers={"Authorization": "Bearer 27375241a5e7eaac5573384c54db1717408f4c64fbb9bf113fa6cc49b35a0f52"})
    except anvil.http.HttpError as e:
        print(e, e.content)
        raise e
    else:
        return resp

This gives the output:

HTTP error 400 {'error': 'invalid-request-error', 'info': 'a room named kkkk already exists'}

Removing the "name" from the data fixes the error
