Outbound Rest Post body in Jakarta

[xstaffelbach]

I simply want to send a POST message to a server. I have a GET working from that same server already on SNOW.

I just can't figure out how to send the request body.

For instance I want to mimic this curl statement

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"title":"hi"}' http://live_server:5000/api/v1/incident

Where do I enter the {"title":"hi"}?

This image shows the UI that I am dealing with, it looks different from the tutorial UI's so I am having trouble using them.

I cannot find the Request Body field

Hi Matthew,

You'll have to call this REST message via script. Once you set up the sn_ws.RESTMessageV2() object, use the setRequestBody() method with the stringified JSON object you want to pass.

Lots of good examples on Live Coding Happy Hour.

Let me know if I have answered your question or if there is still something you need on this one.

Right now I have a business rule that calls the outbound rest service which can see in my picture above.

The Business rule's code is below and the condition is set as blank.

I can call this business rule and see the message sent by the business rule.

But I cannot see this code's output and the server does not seem to have received the POST successfully.

Can you see an issue with my code? If not, how do I debug?

try {

var r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2('Flask speaker', 'new ticket');

//override authentication profile

//authentication type ='basic'/ 'oauth2'

//r.setAuthentication(authentication type, profile name);

// curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"title":"hi"}' http://my_server.net/api/v1/incident

var body = {"title":"hi"};

r.setRequestBody(body);

var response = r.execute();

var responseBody = response.getBody();

var httpStatus = response.getStatusCode();

}

catch(ex) {

var message = ex.getMessage();

}

For some more context on my intent here is a question that I asked earlier: send POST request when a business rule is activated
