Response code 200, no changes being made

[alexhoopes]

I am using requests from Python to run my API requests.
Trying to update a device using https://netbox.domain.com/api/dcim/devices/{id}
I get http response 200, but no changes are actually being made. I am trying to push things such as {"serial": "1234"}

API request looks like this:

editpayload = {'serial': '1234'}
def get_edit(hostname, editpayload, headers, verbose, nbid):
    edit = requests.patch(
        url = f'https://url.com/api/dcim/devices/{nbid}',
        headers=headers, timeout=60, verify=False, data=json.dumps(editpayload))
    editstatus = edit.status_code

request = get_edit(hostname, editpayload, headers, verbose, nbid)

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong here? Not sure why I get a response code of 200, but nothing on Netbox has actually changed. The request is there in the device log, but no change to the serial has happened.

Does it change if you add the missing ending slash in the URL?

Also, to ensure correct content-type headers, you can use json=editpayload instead of converting to JSON yourself.

It does. Thank you much!
