Hello, I want to add several web parts (Content Editor and a couple List Web Parts) to a "project page" via REST-Api or SOAP.
My custom page layout has two web part zones.
I have already tried the two SOAP 1.2 Methods "AddWebPart" and "AddWebPartToZone" of the endpoint "/_vti_bin/webpartpages.asmx" without success as it always returns a HTTP 500 with the following non-descriptive Error:
Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
with errorstring: An error has occurred.
Some more details on my http requests:
Here are the headers I used in my requests:
POST mySP.sharepoint.com/sites/somesite/_vti_bin/webpartpages.asmx
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
X-RequestDigest: <theFormDigest>
Variables in the xml-body of the request:
pageurl: /sites/somesite/Pages/thepage.aspx
storage: Shared
zoneId: Zone 2 (only for the AddWebPartToZone method of course)
zoneIndex: 1 (only for the AddWebPartToZone method of course)
I completely ran out of ideas and can't find any help. I appreciate any help! If you need more details, please tell me.
