Calling Rest API in SharePoint Online to update some field value, but it throws this error: 

{"readyState":4,"responseText":"{\"error\":{\"code\":\"-2130575251, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException\",\"message\":{\"lang\":\"en-US\",\"value\":\"The security validation for this page is invalid and might be corrupted. Please use your web browser's Back button to try your operation again.\"}}}","responseJSON":{"error":{"code":"-2130575251, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"The security validation for this page is invalid and might be corrupted. Please use your web browser's Back button to try your operation again."}}},"status":403,"statusText":"error"}

I think I have the valid X-RequestDigest: 

  $.ajax({
                    url: requestUri,
                    type: "POST",
                    headers: {
                        "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
                        "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
                        "X-RequestDigest": $("#_REQUESTDIGEST").val()
                    },
                    success: onSuccess,
                    error: onError
                });

    Hi @sp13test ,

    There is a typo in X-RequestDigest, it should be like this: 

    "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()

    Then please try again to see if it works.

    Thanks
    Best Regards

    I got fix by including my input file to form tag with SharePoint:FormDigest tag.

    Below is my working code

    <form class="frmView" style="margin-top:80px">

    <SharePoint:FormDigest ID="FormDigest1" runat="server"></SharePoint:FormDigest>	

	<input type="file" class="custom-file-input" id="attachment" name="filename" />

  				<button id = "addFileButton" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="uploadFile()">Submit</button>

    </form>
