HTTPError: 422 Client Error: Unprocessable Entity for url when Creating a Topic

[cod3r0k]

Hi, I want to add some topics but the exception is occurring

~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\discourse\client.py in _request(self, method, path, params, data)
     29             data=data,
     30         )
---> 31         response.raise_for_status()
     32 
     33         return response.json()
~\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py in raise_for_status(self)
    938 
    939         if http_error_msg:
--> 940             raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
    941 
    942     def close(self):
HTTPError: 422 Client Error: Unprocessable Entity for url

Please share the code you're using to generate this topic, and the full traceback. I can't tell what's going on with the information presented.

Dear @samamorgan

try:
    mytopic = client.create_topic(
        title=topic_title,
        raw=topic_content,
        category=topic_category_id, 
        created_at=topic_time
    )
    time.sleep(1)       
    comments = item.topic_replies

    for item2 in comments:
        com_content = item2.reply_content
        com_usr = item2.reply_user
        com_time = item2.reply_time

        client.create_post(
            topic_id=mytopic.topic_id,
            raw=com_content
            created_at=com_time
        )
        time.sleep(1)
        
except:
    print('detect one problem')

In some cases it is going the exception section. When I check it, it returns that problem. I think maybe the URL is very long, but I don't know how to reduce it. (Maybe this could help us)

What's the full traceback? Have you tried printing out the return message? I'd expect the API to return a useful message of some sort in addition to the URL. This library is built on Requests, so you can simply inspect the response object in the HTTPError that's being thrown to see what's going on.

I'd also suggest creating a topic with the bare-minimum amount of information as a first test, then slowly add more information until you hit a break. If you can find out more about what is causing this, this library can address it (or not, depending on the cause).

Thanks @samamorgan
As I mentioned in the first comment, the plain text of the request is depicted

I think when the topic content is so long, it occurs. But, my question is that, why it post to posts.json likes as GET method?
