Custom Retrofit converter to nest JSON

Question

I have a POJO that contains a single authentication token in a string variable. I need to send this to my API using the following template:

{ “auth” : { api_key”:”XXXX” } }

I am using moshi to convert my POJOs to JSON, which returns

{"api-key":"XXXX"}

How can I add the extra brackets on the outside of my current one using a retrofit converter?

Your JSON Is not correct.. – abhi shukla Oct 24 '16 at 20:10 — abhi shukla, Oct 24 '16 at 20:10

I think you should use oAuth authentication. Then, you can use an interceptor for Retrofit and populate that token.

You can use Moshi-Lazy-Adapters to wrap the json. Just use the following annotation when you send the body:

@POST("your_post_url") 
Call<YourResponseTypeHere> sendApiKey(@Body @Wrapped({"auth", "api_key"}) String apiKey);

The library's adapter will do the rest. And you don't need to declare an extra object.
