Error when using HTTP request for site creation

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by sdfsdef 4

Hi,

I get some error when trying to create a site using HTTP request. It's pretty straight forward, so not sure what i'm doing wrong.

I'm basicly following this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/apis/site-creation-rest, but I get this error:

 

"Cannot convert a primitive value to the expected type 'Edm.Guid'. See the inner exception for more details.
clientRequestId: 3544ed78-e876-4f6f-b983-de761d962653
serviceRequestId: 8259bea0-00af-6000-b8e0-e80699d5be82"

 

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @sdfsdef,

     

    Yeah, in that case it probably was that SensitivityLabel value.

     

    You used:

    "SensitivityLabel":"<Your Sensitivity label ID>",

     

    In that case it will try and use a Sensitivity label with the GUID <Your Sensitivity label ID>. But that is not an actual GUID, but a string value. That's why you probably are getting the Cannot convert a primitive value to the expected type 'Edm.Guid' error.

     

    If you want to leave that empty you should use the below:

    "SensitivityLabel":"",

     

    Or remove the whole property, like I did in my example.

    Thanks for the reply!

    The "verbose headers" did not help.

     

    However, your updated payload fixed the issue! 😀

     

    Do you mind explaining the issue? The issue was the SensitivityLabel?

     

    Thanks alot!

    Hi @sdfsdef,

     

    Can you try the same POST request with verbose headers?

     

    {
 "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
 "Content-Type": "application/json;odata=verbose"
}

     

    Also try the payload below. Obviously update the url to your tenant name.

     

     

    {
"request":{
"Title":"@{triggerOutputs()?['body/Title']}",
"Lcid":1033,
"Description":"@{triggerOutputs()?['body/Description']}",
"Classification":"",
"ShareByEmailEnabled":false,
"SiteDesignId":"6142d2a0-63a5-4ba0-aede-d9fefca2c767",
"Url":"https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/@{triggerOutputs()?['body/Title']}",
"WebTemplate":"SITEPAGEPUBLISHING#0",
"Owner":"@{triggerOutputs()?['body/Author/Email']}",
"WebTemplateExtensionId":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
}
}
