Send submission through OJS POST route

[salaun-marion]

We need to create a submission directly after saving it to the database with the Django Backend.

After a try with postman on the following url : http://jdh.submissions.degruyterbrill.com/api/v1/submissions with a JSON body we received a 405 error 'method not allowed'.

An email have been sent to the 2 people with who we are in touch at OJS last wednesday 5th February 2025.

Update on 07/02/2025

• GET submissions route of the OJS REST API is working with the funding coordinator
• POST submissions route of the OJS REST API is NOT working with the funding coordinator : error 403 Forbidden with following error message :

{
"error": "user.authorization.roleBasedAccessDenied",
"errorMessage": "##user.authorization.roleBasedAccessDenied##"
}

Still same error for the POST request after trying with new body :

{
"commentsForTheEditors": "none",
"locale": "en",
"sectionId": 1
}

Dev teams from OJS/ubiquity informed since 05/02/2025.

Late update :

• succeeded to send through Postman an abstract submission with OJS. Got the following answer (see Json code)
• unfortunately it does not appear in the UI, instead an error message appears.

=> To investigate :

• we need to send again a new submission
• we need to find a solution to see this submission on the OJS dashboard
