Hey guys

I'm trying to create a dataset with API on Python script but it's throwing a 400 error. Below is the code.


json = {
    "name": "Dataset Name",
    "description": "Description",
    "rows": 0,
    "schema": {
        "columns": [
            {"type": "STRING", "name": "Col1"},
            {"type": "STRING", "name": "Col2"}
        ]
    }
}

response = requests.post('https://api.domo.com/v1/datasets',
                         headers={'Authorization': 'bearer ' + accessToken, 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json'},
                         json=json)


Could you please advise on how I can get it work?


Thank you!

    Hi @DKCloud9

    Have you tried utilizing pydomo? It's all packaged to neatly do this and is a supported method for communicating with the APIs.

    Are you getting an error message back with your 400 code? Have you tried replicating your API request in a tool like Postman to make sure your body, parameters and url are correct?

    Actually before I tried it with fewer columns with data type I know it's definitely working for this and it worked.


    Where can I see the list of data types I can use to create DOMO dataset? I used "INTEGER" and "FLOAT" but i think thats where the errors are caused. I am assuming different terminology is used.

    if your'e not going to use PyDomo, I'd recommend forming your query in Postman.


    also i don't know what JSON is expecting, but keep in mind the API expects a string not a dictionary.

    I am trying to install pydomo via pip but it shows an error stating 'Could not fetch URL https://pypi.org/simple/pip/'
