is it a json string payload? @Vapi
@Vapi
v
@Shahmeer To assist you with whether something is a JSON string payload, I would need to see the actual string in question. Could you please provide the string you're referring to?
@Vapi
v
@Shahmeer It seems there might be a misunderstanding. If you have a string that you suspect to be a JSON payload and need confirmation or assistance with it, please paste the string here so I can take a look at it for you. If you have any other questions or need support with VAPI or anything else, feel free to ask!

@Shahmeer Yes, the string you've provided appears to be a JSON payload. It contains a nested structure with objects and key-value pairs, which is characteristic of JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. Here's a formatted view of the JSON payload for better readability:
Copy code
json
{
  "message": {
    "timestamp": 1732874223722,
    "type": "function-call",
    "functionCall": {
      "name": "GetSpecificProviderForAiAgentBasedOnLocations",
      "parameters": {
        "VaccineID": "b9f50031-949f-4d9c-9c46-79c96e3aaba2",
        "PracticeID": "5da979bf-a31c-45b5-b1ee-69e14d18d9e9",
        "Caller_location": "Auckland"
      }
    },
    "artifact": {
      "messages": [
        {
          "role": "system",
          "message": "## Identity\nYou are Mary, a helpful and knowledgeable receptionist agent for Chemie a moment\" or \"Hold on a sec.\"\n## Response Guideline\n - Don't interrupt the caller.\n - Confirm user responses clearly and quickly.\n - Collect pat"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
Please note that the
artifact
object's
message
field seems to be cut off, and you might want to ensure that the entire payload is complete and correctly formatted. If you need any further assistance with this JSON payload or have any other questions, feel free to ask!

actually the api accepts string json how can i add double quotes around my object? @Vapi
@Vapi
v
@Shahmeer Yes, the sample payload you're referring to is in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. JSON is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate. It's commonly used for representing structured data and exchanging information between a server and a web application. If you have any specific questions about the payload or need assistance with it, feel free to ask!
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.
@Shahmeer To represent a JSON object as a string in a programming language, you typically need to serialize the object to a JSON-formatted string. This process will automatically add the necessary double quotes around the object keys and string values. Here's how you can do it in JavaScript:
Copy code
javascript
const jsonObject = {
  message: {
    timestamp: 1732874223722,
    type: "function-call",
    functionCall: {
      name: "GetSpecificProviderForAiAgentBasedOnLocations",
      parameters: {
        VaccineID: "b9f50031-949f-4d9c-9c46-79c96e3aaba2",
        PracticeID: "5da979bf-a31c-45b5-b1ee-69e14d18d9e9",
        Caller_location: "Auckland"
      }
    },
    artifact: {
      messages: [
        {
          role: "system",
          message: "## Identity\nYou are Mary, a helpful and knowledgeable receptionist agent for Chemie a moment\" or \"Hold on a sec.\"\n## Response Guideline\n - Don't interrupt the caller.\n - Confirm user responses clearly and quickly.\n - Collect pat"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
};

const jsonString = JSON.stringify(jsonObject);
console.log(jsonString);
The
JSON.stringify()
function converts the JavaScript object into a JSON string. This string can then be sent to an API that accepts JSON strings. If you're working with a different programming language, it will have its own method for serializing objects to JSON strings. If you need further assistance with this process, please let me know which programming language you are using, and I can provide more specific guidance.
@Shahmeer It seems like there might be a bit of confusion. If you're looking to add double quotes around your JSON object to make it a JSON string, you would typically use a programming language to convert the JSON object into a JSON string. For example, in JavaScript, you can use the
JSON.stringify()
method. Here's how you can do it in JavaScript:
Copy code
javascript
var jsonObject = {
  "message": {
    // ... your JSON object ...
  }
};

var jsonString = JSON.stringify(jsonObject);
The
jsonString
variable will now contain a string representation of your JSON object, with the entire object enclosed in double quotes. If you're working with a different programming language, there will be a similar function or method to convert an object to a JSON string. If you need further assistance, please provide more context or specify the programming language you're using.

actually vapi sends JSON String but object does not have double quotes surrounded? how can i add Double quotes to payload vapi is sending to my server url
@Vapi
v
@Shahmeer If VAPI is sending a JSON string to your server URL without the entire payload being surrounded by double quotes, it's likely that the payload is already a valid JSON string. JSON objects themselves do not have double quotes around them; only the keys and string values within the JSON object are quoted. However, if you need to ensure that the entire JSON payload is a string (for instance, to pass it within another JSON object as a string property), you would need to serialize the JSON object to a JSON string and then escape the quotes so that it remains a valid string when embedded. Here's an example in JavaScript:
Copy code
javascript
// Let's say this is the JSON object you received
const payload = {
  message: {
    timestamp: 1732874223722,
    type: "function-call",
    // ... rest of the payload
  }
};

// Convert the JSON object to a JSON string
const jsonString = JSON.stringify(payload);

// If you need to embed this JSON string within another JSON object
const wrappedPayload = {
  payloadAsString: JSON.stringify(jsonString)
};

// Now `wrappedPayload.payloadAsString` contains the JSON string with escaped double quotes
In the
wrappedPayload
object,
payloadAsString
will be a string that contains the serialized JSON with double quotes escaped, making it a valid string to be sent as part of another JSON object. If you are receiving the payload as a string without double quotes and it's causing issues, please ensure that the content-type of the request being sent to your server is
application/json
. If the content-type is correct and you're still facing issues, please provide more details about the problem, and I'll be happy to help further.

@Shahmeer can you be more clear here please?
