Postman to Sharepoint REST callout giving Error: read ECONNRESET issue

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to make a callout from postman to sharepoint.

I have made the authentication using - https://global-sharepoint.com/sharepoint-online/in-4-steps-access-sharepoint-online-data-using-postman-tool/

And when I am trying to do a post on - https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx/_api/web/folders

Header -

Authorization - Bearer xxx

Accept - application/json;odata=verbose

Content-Type - application/json

Content-Length - 148

Body

-

{

"__metadata": {

"type": "SP.Folder"

},

"ServerRelativeUrl": "https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx/newfolder1"

}

I am getting the following error - Error: read ECONNRESET

The callout for tenant and access token are successful.

Please let me know how to fix it.. or Is there a way to no what is going wrong somewhere i can see logs or something.

Thanks in advance,

Hi @Anonymous ,

Per my test, the Permission Request XML in the article is incomplete. The correct XML should be like following

<AppPermissionRequests AllowAppOnlyPolicy="true">
  <AppPermissionRequest Scope="http://sharepoint/content/sitecollection" Right="FullControl" />
</AppPermissionRequests>

You could recreate a sharepoint app only with the correct XML. And set the request like following

POST https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxxxx/\_api/web/folders
Authorization: "Bearer " + accessToken
Accept: "application/json;odata=verbose"
Content-Type: "application/json;odata=verbose"

The body should be like this

{

In your case, you are missing the listname in ServerRelativeUrl.
