unable to create a POST call using HTTP action

[JishnuP_Nair]

Hi All,

I need some help. I am trying to do a HTTP POST call which is working fine in postman.
As per postman these are the attributes.
Authorization:
Basic Auth with client id and secret.

Body :
content type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Key :grant_Type 
Value : client credentials

Could you please help me setup the same in HTTP in blueprism

Hello @JishnuP_Nair 

Is there any content in the body of the request, or is this simply an authorization request?

Cheers,

Here's the basic layout.

Oops! My mistake. You don't need the headers collection. You'll actually add "grant_type=client_credentials" to the Body parameter of the request. Is this an internal API that you're working with or a something from a public web service? Might make troubleshooting it a bit easier if I can review the developer documentation for the service, if it's public.

Hi Eric,

this is an internal API. I am not at liberty to share the details.

The best way to determine if you have the correct body setup is to run the request in Postman and then look at the request/response in Postman Console. You can access the Console along the bottom left of the Postman UI:


This will open another display that initially shows a single line for each request. You can then expand that line and see the contents of the request including the headers and body.
