Invoke RestMethod issues parsing JSON: Value not convertible to Int
0
I have to use PowerShell to manage a Websense server via API. I am using Invoke-RestMethod and I am using a json format to make the changes. The comand to the server is as follows:
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uriCreate -Method Post -Headers $headers -Body ($jsonCat | ConvertTo-Json) -ContentType "application/json"
My variables are as follows:
$uriCreate = https://<ipaddress>:<port>/api/web/v1/categories
$headers = @{ Authorization = <credentials> }
$jsonCat = [ordered]@{
"Transaction ID" = $transID
Categories = @(
[ordered]@{
"Category Name" = $catName
"Category Description" = $catDesc
"Parent" = $catID
}
)
}
When I attempt to create the category via Powershell I get the following error returned:
Invoke-RestMethod : {
"Error" : [ "Could not parse JSON: Value is not convertible to Int." ]
}
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

ArSounds like a property that needs needs to be a Int isnt a Int. Could be a $null or something else?

@LotPings that appears to have been the issue. I am surprised, because I figured that the ConvertTo-Json function would have rendered that unnecessary but I guess that teaches me not to take anything for granted.
