http://localhost:5000/api/entity/ not working as expected

[Krishna]

I have tried to add entity using both pyet and curl -POST but neither of them worked. I am able to get_entity but if I add the function entity_add with the required parameters ( name, description & tags) - it doesnt work. Moreover, As one of your suggestions in one of the issues - that, this will add an entity but to add sub-object ( malware, threat actor etc) _cls needs to be set manually. Can you please explain this in bit detail?

The function that I added

def entity_add(self,name,description,tags=None, source="API"):

    if tags is None:
        tages = []
    json = {

        "name": name,
                    "description": description,
        "tags": tags,
        "source": source
    }
    return self._make_post('entity/', json=json)

When I call this function - I get followin error

results = api.entity_add("malware","malwaredescription",['tags1'])
ERROR:root:An error occurred (500): http://localhost:5000/api/entity/

Same way, when I tried to add with curl

$$$curl -d '{"value":"malware","tags":['a','b']}' -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/entity/

<title>400 Bad Request</title> h1Bad Requesth1

The browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand.

$$$curl -d '{"value":"malware"}' -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/entity/

<title>500 Internal Server Error</title> h1Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

Another Try using Curl

entity.json
{
"value":"malwre"
"tags":['a','b']
}

$$$$curl -d "@entity.json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:5000/api/entity/

<title>400 Bad Request</title> h1Bad Request

The browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand.

Can you please help ?
