# WHISP API not accepting geojsons

Asked by ldawson on 2026-06-22

I can see the WHISP Api has had an update, but it is now not accepting valid geojsons.
I am getting error messages saying "Missing or invalid request body"

Hi ldawson. 

Can you give more detail ? When using the main UI, we seem to be fine with any geojson file. 

https://whisp.openforis.org/

Can you explain what is your entry file and which specific interface you try to process with ?

Are you using the API in your own platform?

Thanks

Rémi

Hi Remi,
Myself and my team are using the main UI: https://whisp.openforis.org/
I can send you by email a copy of the geojson files our system produces.  We've never had any problems until this update.  
The error message is: "Missing or invalid request body"

THanks

Can you send the geojson you are using (or a subset) at remi.dannunzio@fao.org ?
