Google app-engine updates user information getting error 400 BAD_REQUEST

Question

When updating user information using the administrator SDK API, an error message appears:

400 BAD_REQUEST

{ "code" : 400, "errors" : [ { "domain" : "global", "message" : "Invalid Input: Bad request for ", "reason" : "invalid" } ], "message" : "Invalid Input: Bad request for " } 

Attempt to update organization information for users with fields such as name, title, and department

My sample code is: `

 Get users = directoryService.users().get(userEmail); User user = users.execute(); try{ List<UserOrganization> userOrg = new ArrayList<UserOrganization>(); userOrg = user.getOrganizations(); if(userOrg != null){ UserOrganization f_userOrg = new UserOrganization(); f_userOrg = userOrg.get(0); if(f_userOrg != null){ f_userOrg.setTitle("SAP Asso"); f_userOrg.setName("xyz company name"); f_userOrg.setDepartment("xyz dept name"); f_userOrg.setType("work"); userOrg.add(f_userOrg); user.setOrganizations(userOrg); } } InputStream body = directoryService.users().update(userEmail,user).executeAsInputStream(); // @ this line it throws exception 400 BAD_REQUEST }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); } 

I refer to the update_user link to update user data.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

400 BAD_REQUEST - the request could not be understood by the server due to incorrect syntax. The client SHOULD NOT repeat the request unchanged.

So basically there is a parameter mismatch when calling the API. In this case, your request is sent to the server, but due to an incorrect request parameter, it gives 400 errors.

You can print the request that you submit to the Google API. The format you submit may cause a problem.
