TanmayBagla — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 15:10:00 GMT

How to post data to a server using HTTP request. Is there any guide or link to show that as part of an example.

Hi Tanmay,

There are two general options to check out. One would be the HTTP Utility VBO: https://digitalexchange.blueprism.com/dx/entry/3439/solution/http-communication-utility
The other would be create a Web Service within Blue Prism. Here is a guide: https://portal.blueprism.com/documents/v63-user-guide-web-services

I hope this is helpful to get you started. If you provide more details on what you want to accomplish, we may be able to provide more guidance.

HTTP 400 would indicate the server is not happy with the JSON you're sending. I'd assume Blue Prism is either not posting the JSON, or it's in a bad format. I'd verify the data item that you're storing the JSON in is being formatted accurately (if you're calculating via an expression, perhaps a quote mark or something is missing). Are you able to test the POST from outside of Blue Prism? That would ensure the issue is specific to Blue Prism, and that the server is not rejecting your JSON.
