Posted on by sdfsdef

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,

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" } }

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,

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.
