Unexpected json result while calling the surveymonkey api

Question

When calling the surveymonkey api I\'m using {\\\"survey_id\\\":\\\"47625442\\\",\" +\"\\\"fields[]\\\":\\\"[\'url\']\\\"}\" as the json data the server needs

Answer 1

As was pointed out in the comments: Your JSON formatting is off, so the API doesn't understand that you're asking for the URL.

For an understanding of what's going on, take a look at the example request in the link you provided; note the format of the fields section.

Try again, this time with:

{"survey_id": "47625442", "fields": ["url"]}

...which with the escapes will look like this....

    {\"survey_id\": \"47625442\", \"fields\":[ \"url\" ]}"
