Description:

Trying to implement the creation of holdings using the RESTful API  the following response is displayed:

<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?><put-rec-hold><create-hold><note type="error">pickup location is not valid</note></create-hold><reply-text>Failed to create request</reply-text><reply-code>0025</reply-code></put-rec-hold>

The following are the contents of the file for requesting:

<hold-request-parameters><pickup-location>ABC</pickup-location><last-interest-date>20101231</last-interest-date></hold-request-parameters>


What is wrong with the request?

Resolution:

The problem was fixed by adding "post_xml=" to the input file, as stated on the El Commons RESTful API page:
