Does not new API (Send to Inbox) work in UTF-8?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Post content in UTF-8, using new API (Send to Inbox)
  2. I get {“_code”:“Ok”}
  3. The contents will display in garbled text.

Expected result

“テストテスト” → “テストテスト”
“Süß” → “Süß”
“Hello World” → “Hello World”

Actual result

“テストテスト” → “テストテスト”
“Süß” → “Süß”
“This is test” → “This is test”

I reproduced these garbled texts conversion in

  • “UTF-8” → “ISO-8859-1”
  • “UTF-8” → “numerical character references”

Does the API use “ISO-8859-1” or “numerical character references” in that?

I used this garbled text tester.
But, I’m sorry this site written in Japanese.

Additional comments

I found that making an API is wonderful.
I reported a bug when I thought I could support this work.
Thank you.

Thank you!

Sounds like we overlooked something here. @Shida: could you take a look please?

Seems like a misconfiguration in our web servers that defaults the request to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8. I’ve made a fix and it should be out in the next few days.

Meanwhile, as a workaround, you can use application/json; charset=utf-8 as your ContentType header to force the encoding to UTF-8.

Thank you very much!

The webhock service by IFTTT doesn’t have options for encodings.
I’ll be waiting for the update!

Cool!

Meanwhile, I’ll move this to the Developer category, so they don’t confuse other users.

@Yusaku_N: should be fixed now, could you please verify?

Unfortunately, the error still happened.

I need call the API with “Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8” :frowning:

Sorry, there was some issues with the last release. Could you try yet one more time? Sorry! :frowning:

The error was solved. Thank you so much!

Now, I can use the awesome API from my Google Home, Note Widget by IFTTT, and more!
