Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
Trying to add property with coordinates:
- Read claim-id with wbgetentities.
- Removed claim (P625) with wbremoveclaims.
- Adding new value with wbcreateclaim.
var req = api.postWithToken('csrf', {
action: 'wbcreateclaim',
entity: 'Q30049941',
property: 'P625',
snaktype: 'value',
value: {
"latitude": ll.lat,
"longitude": ll.lon,
"globe": "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2",
"precision": 0.000001
})
})What happens?:
The code didn't work. The submitted values were in PHP array syntax (e.g. value[globe]), and the API expected a JavaScript/JSON object.
What should have happened instead?:
The value should either be encoded as an object, or the other syntax should be supported.
By the way, it would be nice if the API responded with a 400 error to indicate a bad payload, but I guess that might require a more significant change...
Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia): WD

The code that did work (workaround):
var api = new mw.Api();
var ll = {
lat: 51.170230459745,
lon: 16.146803039764
};
var req = api.postWithToken('csrf', {
action: 'wbcreateclaim',
entity: 'Q30049941',
property: 'P625',
snaktype: 'value',
value: JSON.stringify({
"latitude": ll.lat,
"longitude": ll.lon,
"globe": "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2",
"precision": 0.000001
})
})
.done(function (re) {
console.log(`code: ${re.code}, success: ${re.success}`, re);
})
.fail(function (re, r2, r3, r4) {
//debugger;
console.warn(re, {
code: r2?.error?.code,
info: r2?.error?.info,
warn: JSON.stringify(r2?.warnings)
});
})
;
