Hi,

 

I'm new to REST API and I'm using postman to create things. I tried to apply a thing shape for my thing, but I couldn't make it.

Here is what I post:

The thing can be created successfully, but the thing shape I want to implement didn't apply to it.:

Can anyone help me on this? 

Thanks!

From ThingWorx, if you navigate to Resources -> EntityServices -> CreateThing you will see that it takes only 4 inputs none of which is a Thing Shape.

In order to add ThingShape to Thing, make a POST call to AddShapeToThing.
