How to update list_relation data in Python Eve

Question

I have a users model and a schema for it that includes a one-to-many relationship with users:

'followers': { 'type': 'list', 'schema': { 'type': 'objectid', 'data_relation': { 'resource': 'users' } } }, 

I am trying to update the list of subscribers. I tried sending a PATCH request to the endpoint / users / 545c7dccb505970bbf0e5ad1 using the "followers" key and a list of objects, but it does not work. Also tried sending the request to PUT / users / 545c7dccb505970bbf0e5ad1 / followers / , but no luck.

So, how do I add an object to this list with the Python Eve REST API?

 GET /users/545c7dccb505970bbf0e5ad1/ { "_updated": "Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:07:40 GMT", "public_key": "test", "_etag": "256d6da738a0f39929d40d1c868e1f67661460be", "_links": { "self": { "href": "/users/545c7dccb505970bbf0e5ad1", "title": "User" }, "parent": { "href": "", "title": "home" }, "collection": { "href": "/users", "title": "users" } }, "active": false, "_created": "Fri, 07 Nov 2014 08:07:40 GMT", "_id": "545c7dccb505970bbf0e5ad1" } PATCH /users/545c7dccb505970bbf0e5ad1 { "_status": "ERR", "_error": { "message": "You don't have the permission to access the requested resource. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.", "code": 403 } } PUT /users/545c7dccb505970bbf0e5ad1/followers { "_status": "ERR", "_error": { "message": "The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.", "code": 404 } } 

Answer 1

doesn't work awfully wide ... however, for guesses, you need to send the _etag token that the server returned when extracting or creating the user ... this is necessary to prevent updating from an outdated model
