REST API POST command not working

I'm following the API guide trying to create a new ticket using curl and the POST method. Any attempt results in error: "HTTP/1.1 405 method not allowed'

PUT method works and returns http response as expected. I am using the Application API key that I generated as an admin.

Anyone else having issues with POST commands working? Or have any suggestions? This is v.12.5

Thank you.

Hey Justin,

could you post your curl string?

Thanks for the reply.

I was making a dumb mistake. I was using the following:

curl -X POST -d @ticket.json "https://xxx/helpdesk/WebObjects/Helpdesk.woa/ra/Tickets/1?username=xxx&apiKey=xxx"

I didn't immediately realize that the "1" in the string ".../Tickets/1..." was specifying the ticket number. This is why PUT worked but POST would not.

I removed the "1" and POST worked as expected.

Ha! So long as it works now
