I am using ApiGility to update a shopping basket products and quantities and am testing with Chromes Postman.

I am using the PUT method to send my form data to the api and keep getting the following error:

JSON decoding error: Syntax error, malformed JSON

This is a screenshot of my PostMan setup:

I have tried setting Content-Type as Text however I then get a "INvalid content-type specified" error.

Is there a way to set PostMan to send Json?

The problem is that you're trying to send parameters as form data. Instead you'll want to send it as "raw." Click on the "raw" tab in the Headers section. Then enter your data as a JSON string.

{"quantity_accumulation": "1"}

Try to pass your parameter in x-www-form-urlencoded instead of form-data and set your content type as:

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
