Figure field is invalid when trying to send to API via R

Plotly R, MATLAB, Julia, Net Plotly R

I am trying to send a plotly plot that I made in R to my account, but I keep getting the following error:

Error: Client error: (400) Bad Request
	Figure field is invalid. Reason: Raw data arrays are not allowed at this endpoint. Use grid references instead. Raw data found at the following paths in the figure [('data', 0, u'marker', u'color'), ('data', 1, u'marker', u'color')]

The plotly plot looks good in RStudio. It just won’t push to my Plotly account.

The code:

pal <- c("grey10", "grey90")
ax <- list(
  title = "",
  zeroline = FALSE,
  showline = FALSE,
  showticklabels = FALSE,
  showgrid = FALSE
)

p <- plot_ly(data = df[1:115,], showlegend = FALSE) %>%
  add_trace(x = ~X1, y = ~`X2`, color = ~X2`, colors = pal, type='scatter', mode = 'lines', showlegend=FALSE) %>%
  layout(xaxis = ax, yaxis = ax, showlegend = FALSE)

api_create(x = p, filename = "plotname")

Thank-you for any suggestions.

I’ve opened an issue in the R repo. You can keep track of this issue here https://github.com/ropensci/plotly/issues/1021

Should be fixed now. Please provide a reproducible example if you are still having problems.

I’m encountering this on my first use of Plot.ly as well. This is the first hit when you google for the error. Here’s the code I’m using:

# Plotly 3D heatmap plot
library(plotly)
Sys.setenv("plotly_username"="davidparks21")
Sys.setenv("plotly_api_key"="--------------------")

theta.grid = cbind(mu.grid, sigma.grid, nu.grid)
print(theta.grid)

p <- plot_ly(
  x = theta.grid[,1],
  y = theta.grid[,1],
  z = theta.grid[,1],
  type='scatter',
  mode='lines'
)

chart_link = api_create(p, filename="test_file")
chart_link

And the data looks like this:

I think you want scatter3d not scatter
