Get list of machines: Weird error message

[nschloe]

When trying to get the list of machines with

requests.post(
    f"https://api.keygen.sh/v1/accounts/{account_id}/machines",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"License {license_key}",
        "Content-Type": "application/vnd.api+json",
        "Accept": "application/vnd.api+json",
    },
).json()

I'm getting back

{
    'meta': {'id': '55366052-6f97-476b-ae0b-6944f0d6d974'},
    'errors': [
        {
            'title': 'Bad request',
            'detail': 'is missing',
            'source': {'pointer': '/data'}
        }
    ]
}

Not sure what the issue is, but is missing is perhaps a bug in the error message generation.

Whoops! Wrong request type, it should have been a GET. Not sure if anything can be done about the error message though.

Glad you figured it out. The error message is saying that you're missing the data property in the request body, because it's required when creating a machine (i.e. when using the POST method on the /machines endpoint).
