[https://api.swiftype.com/api/v1/engines/enginename/document\_types/stores/documents.json?auth\_token=MyAPIKey&document=](https://api.swiftype.com/api/v1/engines/enginename/document_types/stores/documents.json?auth_token=MyAPIKey&document=){“external\_id”:“1”,“fields”:[{“name”:“title”,“value”:“Mat %26 Max”,“type”:“string”}]}

I tried to add document using the api like the above.  
But I received the following response.

{  
“error”: “Internal server error. Please email [support@swiftype.com](mailto:support@swiftype.com) if this error persists.”  
}

Plz solve this problem.  
Thanks.
