I have this code that returns the url of an amazon rds instance:
def get_host(instance_name):
"""This function receives the name of an RDS instance and returns its connection endpoint"""
client = boto3.client( rds ,
aws_access_key_id=AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
aws_secret_access_key=AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
region_name=AWS_DEFAULT_REGION)
instance = client.describe_db_instances(DBInstanceIdentifier=instance_name)[ DBInstances ][0]
endpoint = instance[ Endpoint ][ Address ]
print(endpoint)
return endpoint
and this api that calls it
@app.post("/host", tags=[ host ])
def get_host_with_api(instance_name: str = Body()):
return {"endpoint": get_host(instance_name)}.`
When I call the code directly using the function, like this: get_host("instance10") returns what I need, but when I use the api with postman I get this error:
{
"detail": [
{
"loc": [
"body"
],
"msg": "str type expected",
"type": "type_error.str"
}
]
}
when the api call is of type post, i am sending the parameter to it as
{
"instance_name":"instance10"
}
in the body as raw data in json, why does it send me this error? I tried with another api that also receives strings and I sent them with the same format and it does receive them, what is wrong?
I tried with another api that also receives strings and I sent them with the same format and it does receive them, what is wrong? I ve tried calling only the function and the response is OK.
