CMK version: 2.1.0p44
OS version: debian 11

Error message: 500 Internal Server Error

Steps to reproduce:
Implement the requests example as per the documentation:
“https:///<site_name>/check_mk/openapi/#operation/cmk.gui.plugins.openapi.endpoints.host_group_config.create”

Make 1 change:
Original:

json={
        'customer': 'provider',
        'name': 'windows',
        'alias': 'Windows Servers'
    },

Changed:

json={
        'customer': 'Provider',
        'name': 'windows',
        'alias': 'Windows Servers'
    },

This is the only change needed to have the internal server error happen.

Even though the problem is triggered by providing the wrong data, i think the response should be a 404 and not a 500.

I’ve marked this as a bug.
I don’t know if later versions (>2.1.0p44) have this fixed, i did not find anything similar.
Note, the same problem happens in 2.1.0p43 as well, presumably earlier versions have the same issue, but i can’t test those.

I know this may not exactly be the correct place to post an issue where troubleshooting is already finished, but as google didn’t turn up anything relevant i thought it couldn’t harm to share.
