SalesForce Analytics API filter problems - salesforce

Question

I am trying to use the Salesforce Analytics api to get a report filtered by date, but when I apply the date filters it does not seem to stick, only the default filter applies.
Here is the POST data that I am sending
{
"reportMetadata": {
"aggregates": [
"FORMULA1",
"FORMULA2",
"FORMULA3",
"RowCount"
],
"currency": null,
"detailColumns": [
"SUBJECT",
"DUE_DATE",
"PRIORITY",
"STATUS",
"TASK",
"ACCOUNT",
"CONTACT",
"LEAD",
"OPPORTUNITY"
],
"developerName": "me",
"groupingsAcross": [
{
"dateGranularity": "None",
"name": "CALLDISPOSITION",
"sortAggregate": null,
"sortOrder": "Asc"
}
],
"groupingsDown": [
{
"dateGranularity": "None",
"name": "ASSIGNED",
"sortAggregate": null,
"sortOrder": "Asc"
}
],
"historicalSnapshotDates": [],
"id": "00OC0000006nlWpMAI",
"name": "report",
"reportBooleanFilter": "1 AND 2 AND 3",
"reportFilters": [
{
"column": "CALLTYPE",
"operator": "equals",
"value": "Outbound"
},
{
"value": "2014-08-01",
"column": "Activity.qbdialer__Call_Date_Time__c",
"operator": "greaterOrEqual"
},
{
"value": "2014-08-31",
"column": "Activity.qbdialer__Call_Date_Time__c",
"operator": "lessOrEqual"
}
],
"reportFormat": "MATRIX",
"reportType": {
"label": "Tasks and Events",
"type": "Activity"
}
}
}
and here is what I get back

As you can see in the results only the CALLTYPE column filter applied (this is the default filter).
Does anyone see anything wrong with the POST data that I am sending?
I have tried using other reports and other date columns to filter on, but it is always the same, only the default filters apply.

Answer 1

I found the answer. I was not setting the header Content-type to application/json. Once I did that the filters started working.
