URL for posting data to form via REST

Tevin Steinke asked on February 11, 2015 12:36

I'm reviewing the documentation for posting data to a form via REST. Based on the documentation, I see that the following URL is what I should use for a POST request to submit form data:

/bizformitem.bizform.<form code name>

For my site, I am attempting to use the following full URL to POST form submissions.

http://dev.networkats.com/rest/bizformitem.bizform.newslettersignup

I'm using the above URL and getting a 404 error when browsing the URL in my browser and when submitting an AJAX request in my templates.

Are there any additional steps I must follow in order for the REST functionality to work with posting forms data? I can successfully query documents/objects via REST already (GET), and REST is enabled through Kentico.

rest form bizform ajax url post

Have you set permissions within the REST settings for that form object? Also check the event logs to see if there is any kind of error. You might also check firebug or an equivalent to see if there is some king of JS error.

All object and page types are set to allowed (I left the field blank). The JS error that I'm getting is a 404. No errors are coming up in the event log.

When you're testing are you logged into the CMS or not? Do you have your authentication setup properly?

I've tested in both a logged in and non-logged in browser. I added a URL authentication hash to the link through the Settings app in Kentico, but I still get the 404 in the AJAX call and in the browser.
