Can you send a screenshot to postman payload and settings?

Some pointers:

Content type is appjson, Protocol is http - not s. Correct?

Authentication must be done in Provider setting, not as custom header in Connector setting.

my server isn't returning an authentication issue but a payload issue. When I put no payload into Postman, I get the same error.

I am still having the same problem. How can see what is being sent to a custom api? I used the browser network debugging tool, but it only shows me what is being sent the RMP. I need to know what RMP is sending to my API. When I mean sending, I mean the body, header,etc

Hi,

Would you please let me know what api are you calling via your Custom Connector and what exact error you are facing in RMP?

In order to find out what url,content and the entire configuration of the connector,you need to go to the respective sites and check for the particular api you are trying to create in RMP.The sites mention the parameters that need to be passed in Connector url as well as configuration like content-type,method,result format etc for that particular api. Sometimes you may need to change some of the configurations to JSON in RMP.

You can also try to run the url with its respective configuration(Header & Body) in Dev Http chrome client for REST apis(attached screenshot) and check if its working fine and returning the correct parameters.

Please let me know if this helped or else you are looking for something else?

Thanks & Regards

Bidisha

Hi Roy,

I once had the same desire and picked up some python script like, reflect.py on the web.

That showed me the API call received in command line.

I had to run this in my test server and open ports so RMP can call this one.

There needs to be additional config to show Https content, so had to change protocol to http to see the plain text payload.

This is not a RMP functionality, but may help.

Best regards,

Taka

Hi

So, I have an api that we have written into our on-prem applications. I have a get and I have a post api. The GET works no problem in RMP, the POST is producing a return with a bad request message.

This is what I am figuring is going on based on the numerous tests I have done:

1) The provider is working (because the GET is working)
2) The POST Api is working outside of RMP (because the content and URL are working in PostMan...see attached.)
3) I must be configuring something wrong in the connector for the POST API.

I have attached screen shots of the connector configuration as well as the content. The Provider is a Bearer token model of authentication and like I said, I believe its working. So, I am down to the body of the post. I have attached my "test" result from RMP.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I am not really sure why you are getting this error because the Connector configuration appears to be correct.This error is basically caused by wrong parameters. But again, you said its working fine in Postman and giving correct response(parameters).

But I would like to know if you are passing any parameters in Authorization Header while running the URL in Postman? If yes,then did you add those in Custom Header in Advanced parameters in the Connector in RMP?

Thanks & Regards

Bidisha

Hey there

Yes I am passing Authorization..but its covered in the authorization schema in the provider...right? I am not getting a security error. In postman, I do have a content-type header set. But I would assume that is covered in the connector detail

Hi Taka

I took your advice and got one of my developers to write a raw log of the requests coming into our API server. When the request is made from Postman, we see content-type and body. The request functions as expected. When we launch the request using the connector (and launch test), I don't get any content-type and body.

Here is what I have done:

1) Created a provider for our API server (This works because the GET works)
2) Created a POST connector, set the url, etc. Set Content-Type to Application/JSON and put static text in the CONTENT. I also added the Content-Type in the Custom Header Section.

Is the CONTENT field = HTTP BODY?

Hi Roy,

I found this very useful service.

http://requestb.in/

This lets me see what is sent from any HTTP client.

No need to do reflect.py anymore.

As per your question, content field in connector config is request body.

and I feel you don't need to add the custom header content-type.

Here is my test connector.

This is what is received at requestbin

Best regards,

Taka

Thanks Taka

That did the trick. The difference was Content-Type. Where in Postman Content-Type is a single value while in RMP the option of characterset was being sent. Fixed and is working..thanks for the help
