400/404 error on POST request
Hey, I'm trying to do my very first POST API call and currently getting stuck. I know there are other solutions for what I'm trying to do, but I'm also trying to learn something rather than straight...

It also took me a bit of back and forth to get it working. Reasons are due to Khoros Classic using an older version of jQuery and some specific JSON requirements:
- Since Classic's jQuery version is older you need to use type: "POST" instead of method: "POST"
- The contentType "application/json" needs to be specified
- data parameter needs to be stringified (you already were on the right tracke with your v2)
Here's the resulting evolution of your v1 code that works on my end:
<#assign boardID = coreNode.id /> <button id="subscribe">AJAX test</button> <@liaAddScript> (function($){ $(document).ready(function(){ $("#subscribe").on( "click", function() { $.ajax({ url: "/api/2.0/subscriptions", contentType: "application/json", dataType: 'json', data: JSON.stringify({ type:"subscription", target:{ type:"board", id:"blueprints" } }), type: 'POST' }).done(function(response) { console.log('Success'); }).fail(function() { console.log('Fail'); }) }); }); })(LITHIUM.jQuery); </@liaAddScript>
Bonus tip:
Looking at the details in your browser's network tab will reveal that quite often the HTTP error code is hiding a different more detailed "developer message" debug info in the return data. E.g. here's a HTTP 500 error that is hiding a message about non-stringified content:
