Request Validation

Each request you make to the MediaSilo API will be validated to ensure it is well formed. We look for the following:

• Valid JSON in the request payload
• Required properties
• Data types

If any of the above checks fails, your request will be returned with a 400 status. If the problem with the request is related to missing or invalid properties in the request body, you will also receive a response body that includes details of the problem.

For example, when creating a new project in MediaSilo, we require that the "name" be present in the request body. If the request does not include this field, the response body would be:

{
    name: "A name is required for each Project, otherwise things get confusing."
}

NOTE

Notice that the property is called "name" to match the name of the invalid property.
