[SOLVED] Add request body to API call Mendix (Postman)
2
Hello, I work with mendix for 3 months after work now so i’am stil learning! I think my question is not that hard, but i cant find it… :( I use Postman to test al my API calls (POST / GET etc.) Problem: Now i have an external application where i need information form, but its sending more information that i wanted (deleted users etc.) The API works but with the extra information (Import). I figured out on google that i can ‘filter’ the information in the body in Postman, i did that with succes in Postman. How do i do the same in Mendix? (MAIN QUESTION) Bodytext in postman: {"staticCriteria":[{"Property":"CompanyName","ExactMatch":false,"Value":"de kok bouwgroep","Selected":false,"HitCount":0}],"specificStaticCriteria":[]} My API call till now in Mendix: Microflow HTTP Header Request Import mapping i think i need to do something in the request tab but i cant figur it out… :( Thank you for you're help! EDIT (Filled in the request tab) When i put in the same body as in postman i get errorcode CE0712 – Brace should be followed by a number of digits or another brace Body {"staticCriteria":[{"Property":"CompanyName","ExactMatch":false,"Value":"de kok bouwgroep","Selected":false,"HitCount":0}],"specificStaticCriteria":[]} SOLUTION!!! I needed to put a extra { therefor mendix will escape the left braces with another leftbrace. So what i have now is: i maked the change with CRTL+B {{"staticCriteria":[{{"Property":"CompanyName","ExactMatch":false,"Value":"de kok bouwgroep","Selected":false,"HitCount":0}],"specificStaticCriteria":[]} Hopefully this will help someone in the future to! :)

You just have to add the same body that is in postman in your request tab.
