Persistent API Issue

[WW-Jay]

Hello all,

I'm hoping someone can help me solve a persistent issue I've been having with the webservice API on a Joomla 5 site for the past few weeks.

To cover the common troubleshooting steps, I have confirmed that all webservice plugins are installed and enabled, and I am using a valid API auth token from a superuser account on the site. Now on to the issue:

Running a GET request from the site for articles (https://domain.com/api/index.php/v1/content/articles) correctly returns all articles; however, the title field is always missing, for example this is an exert from the request, sanitised:

Code: Select all

    "data": {
        "type": "articles",
        "id": "150",
        "attributes": {
            "typeAlias": "com_content.article",
            "id": 150,
            "asset_id": 385,
            "title": "",
            "alias": "get-response",
            "state": 1,
            "created": "2025-01-23 16:47:05",
            "created_by": 349,
            "created_by_alias": "",
            "modified": "2025-01-23 16:47:12",
            "modified_by": 349,
            "publish_up": "2025-01-23 16:47:05",
            "publish_down": null,

The article has a title of "Get Response", visible in the front-end, back-end, and database of the site, and I have been unable to troubleshoot why it's missing from the response.

The 2nd part of the issue, I imagine, stems from the same point, which is that when attempting a POST request to create a new article, even using the example payload from the API docs:

Code: Select all

{
    "alias": "my-article",
    "articletext": "My text",
    "catid": 64,
    "language": "*",
    "metadesc": "",
    "metakey": "",
    "title": "Here's an article"
}

Will always return me the same 400 error:

Code: Select all

{
    "errors": [
        {
            "title": "Field required: Title"
        }
    ]
}

I'm hoping someone with some more experience with the webservices API, or this particular can point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

Jay
