I have this Curl code below which runs fine in https://reqbin.com/curl:
curl -X POST https://historicdata.website.com/api/DownloadListOfFiles
-H 'content-type: application/json'
-H 'ssoid: INPUT_SESSION_TOKEN_HERE'
-d '{
"music":"Rock",
"plan":"Basic Plan",
"fromDay" : 1,
"fromMonth": 3,
"fromYear" : 2020,
"toDay": 3,
"toMonth" : 3,
"toYear": 2020,
"eventId": null,
"eventName": null,
"marketTypesCollection": [ "GUITAR" ],
"countriesCollection" : [ "GB", "IE" ],
"fileTypeCollection" : [ "M" ]
}'
The response is a list of filesnames which is correct.
I would like to run this code in R and I have tried to convert it with chatGPT although it gives unexpected output
This is into R code converted code:
library(httr)
library(jsonlite)
session_token <- "INPUT_SESSION_TOKEN_HERE"
# Define the URL and headers
url <- "https://historicdata.website.com/api/DownloadListOfFiles"
headers <- c(
"content-type" = "application/json",
"ssoid" = session_token)
# Define the request body
body <- list(
music = "Rock",
plan = "Basic Plan",
fromDay = 1,
fromMonth = 10,
fromYear = 2023,
toDay = 2,
toMonth = 10,
toYear = 2023,
eventId = NULL,
eventName = NULL,
marketTypesCollection = "GUITAR",
fileTypeCollection = "M"
)
# Perform the POST request
response <- httr::POST(url, httr::add_headers(.headers=headers), body = jsonlite::toJSON(body))
# Check response
if (httr::http_error(response)) {
stop("HTTP error: ", httr::http_status(response)$reason)
} else {
cat("Request successful.")
}
# Extract and print the content of the response
content <- httr::content(response, as = "text")
cat(content)
This is the response:
Request successful.>
> # Extract and print the content of the response
> content <- httr::content(response, as = "text")
> cat(content)

Can someone identify why the R code does not provide a list of filesnames as the curl code does?
