Unable to parse search query for hubapi File manager

Molinero9249 — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 21:03:48 GMT

Hey folks,

Out of the blue today, we're getting server errors on one of our integrations and we're getting the following message when attempting to login.

Client error: `GET https://api.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v2/folders?&parent_folder_id=119886235194` resulted in a `400 Bad Request` response: {"status":"error","message":"Unable to parse search query","correlationId":"7842185f-7912-46e3-8391-f0d4a7c13d44"}

We haven't adjusted any of these scripts recently, so we're unsure why we'd be getting a 400 error here. In another thread, I noticed that it looks like there were differences between & and ? being used. Is part of our URL wrong?

Hi @Molinero9249

Typically the & (ampersand) is used to add additional query parameters after the ? (quention mark).

e.g. domain.com?query_1=one&query_2=two

While your query should still work... I'd remove the ampersand:

https://api.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v2/folders?parent_folder_id=119886235194

It's possible a code tweak at HubSpot's end may have rejected the query based on the URL structure (probably looking for a query it couldn't find).

Have fun

We also started hitting this issue yesterday. Much like you, these API calls have been running fine for a very long time with no issues. I logged a support ticket with HubSpot however no feedback as of yet. Our URL does not have any extra ampersands. I suspect this is a newly introduced HubSpot API bug.

Did you find any workaround?

No, not yet. We've commented out the part of our code where it makes it a parent folder, since it's thankfully not a super high profile aspect of our integration, and we're still working through how to re-code this.

Dennis,

Okay, sounds good. When will we know to start working on it again? Will you post in here, have it in a developer update, etc.? Just want to let my team know that if it's on Hubspot's end at the moment don't lose hairs over trying to fix it.

@Molinero9249 ,

Try now! Was just informed that a rollback was pushed and should be resolving any errors 🤞
