Web API with POST Method

erick258
Hi, I'm trying to create a query datastore WEB API with a POST HTTP Method. Is there a way to test request through Appian as I can't seem to find the field to edit the request body? Thanks

    You don't need POST method for passing username and password. username and password are sent in header and they are base 64 encoded. The name of the header should be "Authorization" and its value should be "Basic BASE64ENCODE(CONCATENTAION_OF_USERNAME_AND_PASSWORD) " You can do it with GET method too.

    In Postman, specify it as "Basic Authorization " under "Authorization" tab, and enter the username and password - it will automatically encode it for you to base64
