I am trying to create a list in SP2013 REST. This is what I get

 var url = "http://mysite/_api/web/lists"; $.ajax({ url: url, type: "POST", contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose", body: { '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.List' }, 'AllowContentTypes': true, 'BaseTemplate': 100, 'ContentTypesEnabled': true, 'Description': 'My list description', 'Title': 'Test123' }, cache: false, headers: { "Authorization" : "Bearer123", "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(), "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose", "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose", "content-length" : 800 }, beforeSend : function(jqXHR, settings) { }, success: function (data) { alert(data); }, error: function (jqxr, errorCode, errorThrown) { alert("Failed"); } }); 

But it doesn't seem to work. The MSDN page is not that helpful since it doesn't give a jquery example, and I can't find any good examples anywhere.

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn292552.aspx

Does anyone know to do it?

with the above, it seems to be returning

"{\"error\":{\"code\":\"-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException\",\"message\":{\"lang\":\"en-US\",\"value\":\"A node of type 'EndOfInput' was read from the JSON reader when trying to read the start of an entry. A 'StartObject' node was expected.\"}}}" 

Thanks

Few things are missing, JSON.stringify in request payload and send payload in data property of $.ajax. I am using following

var url = "/_api/web/lists"; var data = { '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.List' }, 'AllowContentTypes': true, 'BaseTemplate': 100, 'ContentTypesEnabled': true, 'Description': 'My list description', 'Title': 'Test123' }; $.ajax({ url: _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + url, type: "POST", headers: { "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose", "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val(), "content-Type": "application/json;odata=verbose" }, data: JSON.stringify(data), success: function(data) { console.log(data); }, error: function(error) { alert(JSON.stringify(error)); } });
