It is easy to miss the Body Schema, it shows exactly what is needed. Looks like you need the Skill code.
 

Thank you I knew that was there as well from the last time I did this but completely forgot about it. Now I just have to work out what the items needs to be. 

This should give you the codes you need. We do not use Skills but when I run this it comes back with 3 digit ID numbers for each skill.

I have this list, which is where I’m getting the numbers from. and they work when I retrieve a single skill information. So it must be somewhere else in the code that I’m missing something.

The “string” in skill_code should be 202 or whatever your sill code is, not “Coaching Skills”

{
  "items":
    {
      "skill_code": "683",
      "course_id": 856
    }
  ]
}
}

This still gets the syntax error. I think the “items” needs to be changed rather than the codes

When you post, if you hit the 3 dots in the upper left hand corner of the editor and select code you can post the code in syntax.

Is the skill enabled/published?

{
  "items": [
    {
      "skill_code": "683",
      "course_id": 856
    }
  ]
}
}

Yes, it has been published and enabled for some people.

I got the following in my sandbox, I sent the info below.

{
  "items": [
    {
      "skill_code": "12",
      "course_id": 61
    }
  ]
}

I received the following

{
  "name": "Bad Request",
  "message": [
    "Invalid parameter: items"
  ],
  "code": 1001,
  "status": 400
}

@Bfarkas is developing some stuff for skills management and is looking for participants. 

Looking for community help testing: Skills Management! | Community (docebo.com)

“items” is a container for you do be able to do multiple skills. It would look like this for multiple skills. The key element is the placement of commas. The last “item” in the array does NOT have a comma. All items before the last item need to have a comma.

{
  "items": e
    {
      "skill_code": "12",
      "course_id": 61
    },
    {
      "skill_code": "42",
      "course_id": 61
    }
  ]
}

@Bfarkas virtual events on APIs is really helpful on this.

The first 2 are very helpful about the browser.

Thanks @dwilburn I’ve tried so many permutaions of the code and funnily enough I’ve already watched both of those videos. Great minds think alike? I’ve ended up putting in a servide desk request as I’ve tried every permutaion of code and I’m getting weirder and weirder error messages. The skills code is not the ID, it’s something else entirely. 

Hi @Lucy.blake - I was looking through the post related to the second session and Brian got into some discussions on skills with the users. You may want to take a look at that.

After the Community Coaching Session: Using Postman | Community (docebo.com)

I am going to put up a post on removing assets from Power User provisioning, but it was a batch activity. Here is what it looks like in the body that is sent with multiple items. There is a comma after each “item” except for the last one.

{
  "items": m
    {
      "id": 8,
      "type": "coursepath"
    },
    {
      "id": 9,
      "type": "coursepath"
    },
    {
      "id": 26,
      "type": "coursepath"
    },
    {
      "id": 36,
      "type": "coursepath"
    }
  ]
}

{
  "items": [
    {
      "skill_code": "esco_skill_16b1f191-eafd-4821-a08a-9f0cc4e5a71a",
      "course_id": 630
    },
    {
      "skill_code": "09cb2845-d1b0-4ddb-989b-2df891336a01",
      "course_id": 630
    },
{
      "skill_code": "0e0a39bc-0acb-4121-a4dd-3f9b19599533",
      "course_id": 630
    },
    {
      "skill_code": "esco_skill_183134a2-3f8e-4a38-9e81-35c2bec0272b",
      "course_id": 630
    }
  ]
}

This is the correct code that works, the “Skill code” comes from the API download of skills and only the last one doesn’t have a comma after it.

@Lucy.blake - it is working now?

Yes, it is.

Awesome!!! Are you using Postman or just the API browser?
