sync/history returns Response 500

[rohitsathish]

Hi, I am trying to update my watch history by sending a POST request to https://api.trakt.tv/sync/history on python.

Here's my code thats giving a Response 500 -

test_value = {'movies': [{'title': '7500',
   'year': 2019,
   'ids': {'trakt': 357152,
    'slug': '7500-2019',
    'imdb': 'tt6436726',
    'tmdb': 509585},
   'watched_at': '2021-06-05T00%3A00%3A00.000Z'}],
 'seasons': [],
 'episodes': [],
 'shows': []}

headers = {
    'Content-type': 'application/json',
    'trakt-api-key': 'xxxx',
    'trakt-api-version': '2'
}

import requests as req
url = 'https://api.trakt.tv/sync/history'
req.post(url, data = test_value, headers = headers)

Am I doing something wrong or is this a server side issue?

Thanks

Unsure if it's the cause of the 500 but it looks like you might be missing your authentication header:
eg. 'Authorization': 'Bearer {access_token}'
And perhaps your watched_at date is incorrectly formatted:
eg. 'watched_at': '2014-09-01T09:10:11.000Z'

I tried it with these changes but I'm still getting the 500 Response. Is the same request working on your end? Then maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Is it possible to get the raw request and response, including headers? I'm curious what the python is actually creating and sending.

Double check all your response headers, chances are it'll have more information for you. I tested quickly in Postman using your headers/body and get a 500 without the Authorization header as I pointed out. I got a 201 when it's included. You'll most likely need to check why the Authorisation header isn't being sent.
