Unexpected json result while calling the surveymonkey api

Question

When calling the surveymonkey api I'm using {\"survey_id\":\"47625442\"," +"\"fields[]\":\"['url']\"}" as the json data the server needs to complete my request. while it is returning the data it is required it is not returning the additional URL i believe i am requesting. Does anyone know why this wouldn't give me this back?

EDIT https://developer.surveymonkey.com/mashery/get_collector_list this is the call im trying to make if this helps

As was pointed out in the comments: Your JSON formatting is off, so the API doesn't understand that you're asking for the URL.

For an understanding of what's going on, take a look at the example request in the link you provided; note the format of the fields section.

Try again, this time with:

{"survey_id": "47625442", "fields": ["url"]}

...which with the escapes will look like this....

    {\"survey_id\": \"47625442\", \"fields\":[ \"url\" ]}"
