syntax for updating values using webwrite

Hi,

I am trying to get my head round the syntax required for updating some data using webread and an api. The API i am attemping to use is here (https://smartsheet-platform.github.io/api-docs/?shell#update-rows) and I am just trying to work out how to update single cell value. What I cannot workout is how I pass the required "Request Body" parameters to webread to update the value of a specific cell (speciified by its row and column id in this case I think).

Any ideas?

thanks

Oli.

To make a POST request with request body, send() can be used, with the "Request Body" parameters passed in the body property of requestMessage object

Hi Rohit,

thanks for your answer. I have managed to use the send() class to retireve data using GET. I am still sruggling with using the PUT and POST however, the API doesn't seem to like the way I am formatting the json character string in the DATA part of the request message. This is perhaps something I need to clarify with the API developer. I have managed to do a work around using the "system()" function and calling cURL for which I have a working syntax, not ideal but something I can at least use for now.

thanks
