Rest API "form-data" as Body Input

[Frank2]

Hi,

I am trying to implement a POST rest service in Aware. The API call works in Postman, but the data is passed as "form-data" instead of the raw body json format that I am used to use.(The option selected in Postman) How do I implement this in Aware as it won't work when I take the username and password from an object that is in context?

Thanks
Francois

Sorry, do not understand

Hi Jaymer,

Sorry for the confusion. Please have a look at the 2 attachments. Both screenshots from Postman.

In Screenshot1 you will see that the Body data is sent through as form data(x-www-form-urlencoded),which is the correct way to do it for this specific API.

In Screenshot2 you will see that the Body data is sent through in raw JSON format. I have created all my previous POST Rest services in the same manner in Aware, works great because the Input Parm object is in context and in JSON format.

What I want to know. How do I implement the POST with parameters sent as form data(as in Postman-because the API gives me a return,code 200).
If I implement it in the same way as above, taking the Parm Object in Context as input, I get an error, that is in Aware.. Should this rather be used as a string(see screenshot3). None of it is working, or should I pass a HEADER with it?

Postman shows the payload,
and I think doing this will send the same JSON string:

Hi Jaymer,

Thank you for the reply.

Still no joy. I have attached the API error and also the API Curl command provided by the API company.
And the error attached is the one I get when I do it like you showed in your example above.

I have included the necessary HEADERS in Aware.

According to me it should work.

Kind regards,
Francois

Hi Aware_Support,

Any thoughts on this porblem?

Kind regards,

If this is what curl is sending, then why aren't you doing the same thing:

In the "use this string" field:
username=<<LoggedInRegularUser.LoginName>>&password=<<LoggedInRegularUser.APIPassword>>

Hi Jaymer,

Thank you very much, working now. Just wasn't too sure how Aware wants me to send the String through. Also, I had to change the Content type to Text/XML and not JSON.

Thanks for the help.

Kind regards,
Francois
