Getting a 400 response code on droplet create
While I know there is a community Java based API I have been trying to create a droplet via my own simple app but receive a 400 response code. Please could someone tell me what’s wrong with my code.
package code;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URL;
public class CreateDroplet {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String urlString = "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets";
String newDroplet = "{'name' : 'ic2gb1'";
newDroplet += ", 'region' : 'lon1'";
newDroplet += ", 'size' : '2gb'";
newDroplet += ", 'image' : 12079764";
newDroplet += ", 'ssh_keys' : null";
newDroplet += ", 'backups' : true";
newDroplet += ", 'ipv6' : false";
newDroplet += ", 'user_data' : null";
newDroplet += ", 'private_networking' : false";
newDroplet += '}';
URL url;
try {
url = new URL(urlString );
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestProperty ("Authorization", "Bearer *****************************************************************");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
DataOutputStream writer = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
writer.writeBytes(newDroplet);
writer.flush();
int responseCode = conn.getResponseCode();
System.out.println("responseCode: + responseCode));
String line;
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
writer.close();
reader.close();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
