API habit completion returns error

[frankrehfeld]

When trying to complete a habit via API it returns an error.

curl --request POST --url http://192.168.1.60:8081/api/v1/habits/fc901c/completions \
 --header 'accept: application/json' \
 --header 'authorization: Bearer xxx' \
 --data '{"done": true, "date_fmt": "%d-%m-%Y", "date": "01-01-2025"}

returns the following error message:

{"detail":[{"type":"model_attributes_type","loc":["body"],"msg":"Input should be a valid dictionary or object to extract fields from","input":"{\"done\": true, \"date_fmt\": \"%d-%m-%Y\", \"date\": \"01-01-2025\"}"}]}

Thanks for reaching out. It seems like the ' is missing at the end of your request, could you correct it and try again?

[frankrehfeld]

Hi. The ' was lost when copying the request into the issue. The request was done with the trailing ' and returned the error. I've just controlled it and got the same behaviour.

OK, could you add the content-type header to your request, here is an example.

Thanks for your help. It worked as expected.

FYI: I used it to build a switch for home assistant to mark a habit as done. This can be achieved by implementing a rest switch using the following code:

- platform: rest
  resource: http://192.168.1.60:8081/api/v1/habits/fc901c/completions
  params:
    date_start: '{{ now().strftime("%d-%m-%Y") }}'
    date_end: '{{ now().strftime("%d-%m-%Y") }}'
    sort: asc
  headers:
    content-type: application/json
    accept: application/json
    authorization: Bearer xxx
  is_on_template: '{{ now().strftime("%d-%m-%Y") in value_json }}'
  body_on: '{"done": true, "date": "{{ now().strftime("%d-%m-%Y") }}" }'
  body_off: '{"done": false, "date": "{{ now().strftime("%d-%m-%Y") }}" }'
  name: medicine
  icon: mdi:pill

Maybe you are interested in adding it in the documentation.

Thanks for sharing, I'm a big fan of HA too :)

That integration looks pretty cool, I have added it to the readme homepage.
