RESTful PUT error

[Pi Digital]

I’ve been working on a library connecting LiveCode with MS Dynamics365 CRM via some APIs custom made for us in c#. LiveCode makes its calls to the API by REST. At first I was using Put url to send some simple calls but started getting errors in some. I was advised to switch over to using Post instead of Put (which acts more like Get anyway). So I’d just use Post empty to url when no parameters were needed. Errors all gone. 

So my advice to you is use only Get and Post. 

tRequestURL1 = https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/persons?api_token=ef2c59a67144d185277fee92aa9ede877c6c10ff

tRequestURL2 = https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/persons/2?api_token=ef2c59a67144d185277fee92aa9ede877c6c10ff

tJSONtoUpload = {"phone":"555-555-5555"}

Post empty to url(tRequestURL1)
Put it into tResponse1

Post tJSONtoUpload to url(tRequestURL2)
Put it into tResponse2
