Unable to call book POST, receiving 400 error

[teddywagner]

I have been reading through this repository and its resources for the last couple of weeks and would like to say that this is a very cool community and I have so much respect for the project and creator.

I've been working through the Api myself as a sort of side-project and have hit a wall in regard to the /book request.

I'm sure I'm using the right parameters for this with book_token and struct_payment_id, but the error I'm receiving is

"book_token": "An invalid book token was provided."

I'm extracting the token from /details via book_token > value so I'm unsure why the token is invalid.

Lastly, I've been using Postman for the requests, which may be a reason for the issue?

Could missing request headers be a cause for the issue?

I appreciate any insight anyone could provide!

Based on your error message @teddywagner, my assumption is that you didn't set the Content-Type header to application/x-www-form-urlencoded. What this does is escape special characters before your payload is sent over the web. Likely your book_token was not escaped so it was not received correctly on the other side which is why you are getting an An invalid book token was provided. error message.

Thank you that was the issue!

Hey @teddywagner ,
I am confused on how the book token is generated. Could you help me out with this? This is the last piece of the puzzle I need to understand

Does anyone have a PR they may be able to put up with this change? Thanks so much!
