updating bandwidth for connection
I'm attempting to change the bandwidth using python requests
url = f"https://api.equinix.com/fabric/v4/connections/{cid}"
headers["content-type"] = 'application/json-patch+json'
response = requests.patch(
url,
headers=headers,
timeout=5,
data=[
{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/bandwidth",
"value": bw
}
]if run as above I get this error

ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)If I run the same as above, but change data to be a dict instead of a list I get this error

Issue: Payload was added as Form data in request
Solution: We need to submit JSON payload to the API call. Below is a working example.
import requests cid = e7ea19ba-5d53-476d-a041-43a3004c6683 bw= 50 url = f"https://api.equinix.com/fabric/v4/connections/{cid}" headers = {} headers["content-type"] = 'application/json-patch+json' data=[ { "op": "replace", "path": "/bandwidth", "value": bw } ] response = requests.patch( url, headers=headers, timeout=5, json=data )I added a few code blocks to your message to help other community members review the information. Please feel free to edit if I made any mistakes. I'll also see if I can get someone more familiar with the Fabric API to take a look. Stay tuned..
