I’m trying to update A database firewall via Digitalocean API using digitalocean function script but It always returns 422. Below is my attempt
const axios = require('axios');
function main(args) {
const do_token = "DO_PERSONAL_TOKEN";
const db_cluster = "DATABASE_CLUSTER_UUID";
const api_url = `https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/databases/${db_cluster}/firewall`;
const app = async function(){
let firewall_list = await axios.get(api_url,{
headers: {
'Content-Type' : 'text/plain',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${do_token}`
}
})
.then( res =>{
return res.data.rules;
})
.catch(err=>{
console.log(err);
return [];
});
let new_rules = { rules: [
{
title: "ip_addr",
value: "20.200.245.247"
}
]
};
await axios({
url: api_url,
method: 'put',
data: new_rules,
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${do_token}`,
'Content-Type' : 'text/plain'
}
})
.then( res =>{
return res.data;
})
.catch(err=>{
console.log(err);
return [];
});
return { "message": true, "new_rules": new_rules }
}
return app();
}
I get this error
statusMessage: ‘Unprocessable Entity’
the credentials provided were correct as I can retrieve firewall list with it and If I use the data from retrieved firewall list, it worked. Any help?
using
{ rules: [
{
title: "ip_addr",
value: "20.200.245.247"
}
]
}
not working and will return 422.

Hi there,
One thing that stands out in your code is the Content-Type Header
, you’ve set the Content-Type
to text/plain
. Typically, when sending JSON data to an API, the content type should be application/json
.
I could suggest trying to change this to:
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
And then give it another try.
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
