You should get comfortable with server codes - [HTTP response status codes - HTTP | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status) For 422 - 422 Unprocessable Content The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors. So seems like for the most part your request is fine but perhaps the data you sent was malformed / not what the server is expecting ---

Thank you for the response. I do understand the server codes but I have tried to feed it all kinds of data, dictionary and string (which it can possibly accept). Since it is giving the same error. So i thought of asking it here ---

Normally API's should have documentation on what you should be sending them. Do you have a link to that? ---

Also, - You are using `httpPut()`. That is a legacy function that isn't expected to work with the security on most modern web servers. Learn to use `system.net.httpClient()` for everything. - Consider using wireshark to see what you are really sending and receiving. ---

@pturmel Can you please tell me the syntax for `httpClient()` or a place where I can find it for the PUT commands ---

User manual? [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.net.httpClient](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.net.httpClient) Lots of examples here on the forum, too.
