Utility HTTP request - Error when calling API using GET-request

RPA_COE — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 10:38:00 GMT

Hi!

We are trying to call an API through Blue Prism using a proxy. As we read through other forum pages, this cannot be done through the WEB API services, as it does not allow for proxy calls. Because of that, we are using the HTTP request VBO, but are getting the following error.

Does anyone know how we can circumvent this/what we are doing wrong?

@JelleKoning1,

Can you translate the error message to English, or copy the text of the message into your post so we can use Google Translate?

Cheers,

Hi Eric, this is the translation of the Dutch part of the error:

the object reference is not set to an instance of an object

@JelleKoning1,

Are you using the latest release of the HTTP VBO available from the DX?
