Add body parameters in Get method
Question

Hi,

I'm consuming a REST api with GET method, I want to send parameters via body not header, how can I do that, tried to add 

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

GetRequest_AddArgument

 in onbeforeRequest


but I don't think this is the solution. any help with that?

Hi Abeer ElAssal,

Did you tried to send in request body a binary format? See if this article helps: https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/36156/guide-consume-rest-api-with-form-url-encoded-request/

Thanks for your reply, but the option of changing request format is not available

Abeer ElAssal, 

(regarding service studio configuration) Using Postman is possible to define first as POST and then change the method to GET, seems that here we may be limited to send a request parameters in body of a GET, if I see a workaround I'll let you know.

I tried it using Postman, but it works as get, so i'm trying now with integration studio with this following this documentation | https://success.outsystems.com/Documentation/11/Reference/OutSystems_APIs/REST_Extensibility_API


but still confused on how to use the method void 
SetRequestBody(string text)

Abeer ElAssal, 

But could you use POST instead of GET method for your scenario?

Put Your request method as GET the output parameter Receive In having options as HEADER and BODY by this way only you could send your parameters 

Thanks And Regards

Hi, thank for your reply, but when I let the method GET, and use inputparameter to send in body it triggers error saying it's not allowed

GET method should not rely on the contents of the body. This is specified in the HTTP protocol. See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/978061/http-get-with-request-body

If you have ownership of the service, please change its method to POST or PUT, and you'll be fine. If it's a third-party service, contact their support and make clear to them that they are violating the HTTP standard, and therefore limiting the interoperability of their services.

Many web services will accept parameters in either the body OR the URL. Have you tried just putting the parameters in the URL where they should be for a GET?

As Leonardo said the HTTP standards do not allow body parameters to be passed in a GET request but it sometimes works because the web service uses the same code to extract the URL and body for both get and POST which is why you may be able to get away with it in postman.
