Defining custom hero via the API
I'm having trouble defining a custom hero via the API. I can get everything to work OK using the UI, but not the API. Here's my Python code:
# Prepare the post data post_data = {'k': API_TOKEN, 'location': location, 'url': url, 'runs': 1, 'fvonly': 1, #'debug': 1, 'keepua': 1, 'f': 'json', 'video': True, 'script': script, 'custom': '\n'.join(custom), 'heroElements': {"MWTEST":".product"} } # Make the request response = requests.post(BASE_URL, data=post_data, timeout=10) custom is a script - it runs OK and the output is in the results. heroElements works fine when I put the dict in the UI. But when I run this code, there's no custom hero at all in the results and nothing shows up in debug. Has anyone got any advise on custom heroes via the API? |

RE: Defining custom hero via the API
I figured out how to do this. The solution is to use json.dumps(), so the dict becomes:
'heroElements': json.dumps({"MWTEST":".product"}) I can confirm that this works - meaning you can define custom heroes through the API. |
