It seems like this endpoint expects an object, but the docs do not appear to elaborate on what that is

The endpoint appears to be here:

github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist@cfe94c8dac/tubearchivist/api/views.py (L532C1-L557C75)


    def post(self, request, playlist_id):
        """post to custom playlist to add a video to list"""
        playlist = YoutubePlaylist(playlist_id)
        if not playlist.is_custom_playlist():
            message = f"playlist with ID {playlist_id} is not custom"
            return Response({"message": message}, status=400)

        action = request.data.get("action")
        if action not in self.valid_custom_actions:
            message = f"invalid action: {action}"
            return Response({"message": message}, status=400)

        video_id = request.data.get("video_id")
        if action == "create":
            playlist.add_video_to_playlist(video_id)
        else:
            hide = UserConfig(request.user.id).get_value("hide_watched")
            playlist.move_video(video_id, action, hide_watched=hide)

        return Response({"success": True}, status=status.HTTP_201_CREATED)

Been trying to get this endpoint working for a bit, but I can't seem to get videos added to custom playlists 🤔

The data structure is unknown to me, but it appears as though it's expecting something like:

interface Request {
    action: "create" | "remove" | "up" | "down" | "top" | "bottom";
    video_id: string;
}

        const response = await fetch(`${TA_BASE_URL}/api/playlist/${PLAYLIST_ID}`, {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Authorization': `Token ${TA_API_KEY}`,
                'Content-Type': 'application/json'
            },
            body: JSON.stringify({ action: 'create', video_id: videoId })
        });

This seems to trigger the GET endpoint, as the response returns metadata bout the playlist with a 200, but not the response I'd expect from here: github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist@cfe94c8dac/tubearchivist/api/views.py (L557)

Regardless of the body, even if I omit the body entirely, I still get the GET response. And not the expected POST response. No logs appear to be generated for this endpoint 🤔

How is this endpoint supposed to be used?

Looks like the trailing / is required for these endpoints for some reason. Wonky routing?
