RESTful GET request not sending parameters correctly. How to debug?

Hi,

i try to get todoist running. Which it does actually.
But i created a couple of projects in todoist to manage my family.

Now, the todoist (powertodoist) documentation is about creating a template sensor using rest, another sensor using/parsing a curl response to retrieve tha labels, and a rest_command for updating.

That’s a okay, i guess.

Yet, i would have to duplicate the rest-sensor for every project i created in todoist.

While getting deeper into it, i learned, you could as well create a restful sensor type querying all projects at once (and labels included).

  - resource: 'https://api.todoist.com/sync/v9/sync'
    method: GET
    headers:
      Authorization: !secret todoist_api_token
    params:
      sync_token: '*'
      resource_types: '["projects","items","sections","labels"]'
    scan_interval: 10
    sensor:
      - name: label_colors
        unique_id: label_colors
        value_template: >
          {{ value_json['labels'] | length }}
        json_attributes:
          - labels
      - name: todoist_projects
        unique_id: todoist_projects
        json_attributes:
          - projects
      - name: todoist_items
        unique_id: todoist_items
        json_attributes:
          - items
      - name: todoist_sections
        unique_id: todoist_sections
        json_attributes:
          - sections

(I’ll sort details later)

however, while the REST request works fine when testing with postman,
it fails to execute in HomeAssistant.

Error returned is:

Data fetched from resource: {"error":"Invalid argument value","error_code":20,"error_extra":{"argument":"resource_types","event_id":"549d4ac7589a4774b39c6dc60803b2ca","expected":"Value error, Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)","retry_after":1280},"error_tag":"INVALID_ARGUMENT_VALUE","http_code":400}

I can’t figured out what’s wrong, since Home Assistant would not write the request into the logs, only rest responses (I wasn’t able to find out how to log posted requests)

I can only recreate the error with postman, when i’m editing the line “resource_types” like removing quotes etc.

I don’t know what Home Assinstant is doing with this parameter. Do i need to escape some characters or else?

okay, solved by moving the constant paramers to the resource url
