BLM API Not Working in V.37

Hi all,

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the BLM API, specifically the /v2/blm/promoteBot endpoint.

Since the v.37 update was deployed to our environment yesterday, all other endpoints are working but some of our promotion scripts are failing when executing a POST request on the promoteBot endpoint:

400: 

{
    "message": "Validation failed for 'api_key'. Reason: must match pattern [^<>]*."
}

This seems like a strange error to get, considering it was working yesterday and there were no changes at all.

Thanks

Adam

Hi ​@AWilson ,

As the error indicates, the issue is with your API key. If your current request looks like:

{
  "api_key": "<my-secret-key>"
}

Change it to:

{ "api_key": "my-secret-key" }

Below shown is the accepted format.

{
    "message": "Validation failed for 'api_key'. Reason: must match pattern [^<>]*."
}

​@AWilson could you check if the API key has expired?

​@Padmakumar  Hi, there’s no issue with the API Key as it can be used to make other requests. Please note my update on this post where I mentioned that even using the ‘Promote Bot’ feature in the UI (which is calling the /v2/promoteBot endpoint) is also not working.

{
    "message": "Validation failed for 'api_key'. Reason: must match pattern [^<>]*."
}

Hi ​@Shreya.Kumar , the key is valid as it can be used to make other requests.

​@AWilson the issue has been resolved by our team and should be rolled out in our upcoming patch update!
