I’m using CloverDX 5.1, and I’m trying to run a graph using the Simple HTTP API.
This is working fine for me:
curl --header “X-Requested-By: arbitrary\_value” http://:\<\*\*\*\*\>@:/clover/simpleHttpApi/help
But when I try to run the command below, I get an error:
curl --header “X-Requested-By: arbitrary\_value” http://:\<\*\*\*\*\>@:/clover/simpleHttpApi/graph\_run?sandbox=Mysandbox&graphID=/graph/Jobs/Prod/Sample.grf
This is the error:
Error running job: sandbox = Mysandbox, job file = null!
=\> null’graphID’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
It picks up the first parameter, but never the second. If I switch the sandbox and graphID parameter locations, it will read the graph path, but not the sandbox.
This is the error:
Error running job: sandbox = null, job file = /graph/Jobs/Prod/Sample.grf
=\> Execution failed.
=\> Error loading job file: sandbox://default//graph/Jobs/Prod/Sample.grf
=\> /graph/Jobs/Prod/Sample.grf’sandbox’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Am I using the wrong syntax? It doesn’t seem to be reading the second parameter.

I figured out what I was missing.
I needed to enclose the full URL in double quotes.
Example:
curl --header “X-Requested-By: arbitrary\_value” "http://:\<\*\*\*\*\>@:/clover/simpleHttpApi/graph\_run?sandbox=Mysandbox&graphID=/graph/Jobs/Prod/Sample.grf
"
