Unable to create a Thing using Postman

I was trying to create a Thing using Postman.

I put the appKey and Content-Type = application/json as suggested in this website:

https://developer.thingworx.com/resources/guides/thingworx-rest-api-quickstart/use-rest-api-create-new-thing

 

The status code is 500 Internel Server Error and it says "Unable to Invoke Service CreateThing on EntityServices : No name provided in CreateThing".

 

Thanks.

@liuq Could you please share the exact REST call you are making along with details provided in header, parameters, etc using Postman. From the error it appears to be an issue with your REST call with existing TWX configuration.  Are you able to make any successful REST call pointing to the same ThingWorx instance? Also, check and provide Allow Request Method Switch setting for more detail please refer Help center page.
