Hi Anagha.

Have you checked this one-page help to call web services and APIs?

I guess you simply need to send the CSV to the binary/text input field.

Hi,

Does your external API use form-data as input type ?

if yes, you can use plugin https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/4026/multipart-form-data

and tutorial https://www.outsystems.com/blog/posts/consuming-multipart-form-data-rest-method/

Hi Toto,

Yes the external API does use Content-Type as Multipart/Form-Data. I also downloaded the component you just shared.
Do we have any sample for this particular forge component? It would be great help.

Thanks,
Anagha

Yes, the plugin is a little bit tricky.

I'm sorry I cannot provide you with oml (my Webservice is private use).

First, create local variable using the structure from the plugin (Part). You need Part variable and List of Part variable (see image below)

This is how to call the web service

You need to assign the part variable with component that you need (here in my example is image)

Then append it to list of part variable

Put the MultipartFormDataCreate

Boundary = hardcoded 

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW

Then on the web service consume

with content-type hardcoded

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

"multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW"

Thanks For the reply Toto.

I used the component and what I got the response after converting it from binary to text is the below.

------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="File"
Content-Type: multipart/form-data

Id,FName,LName,Email
1, Anagha, Chikate, achikate@xyz.com
2,Paree,Bansal,pbansal@xyz.com

------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--

When I hit the service with this file in request text, its giving me 400 error.

Am I missing on something?

Thanks,

Anagha 

If you cannot provide postman screenshot, can you provide the action ?

hey Toto,

PostEmployee is the external rest service that I am calling, which is Post type with request set to binary type.

Hey, 

Find the attached test oml. 

Thanks,
Anagha

Hi Anagha,

In the PostEmployee, contenttype should filled with 

"multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW"

In my case, this is the problems

Hi,

Changing the content type didnt help.

Please find the attached test oml.

Thanks,

Anagha.

Hi Anagha,

I'm waiting for the upload complete :D It seems there is a slowdown in the forum.

Yes I see that, I uploaded it twice. Please see the previous file in conversion. 

Still not updated, still uploading

Ups, my mistake sorry

Let me check it.

And this is the translation from your code to the postman

is this correct ?

key : employees.csv

filename and content : employees.csv

This will translate as key

I guess that is correct. 

I am hitting service A (that I have exposed) and in that service I am consuming service B (PostEmployee in the test oml), to which I want to send the employee.csv.

Hello,

I am consuming a REST API where have to upload a .csv file with content type as "Multipart/form-data". We are using forge component as below and getting error as highlighted in yellow color.

Any help for this issue resolution will be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
