We are facing an issue with the “body” attribute within “HTTP request” activity in UiPath Studio. We are providing the JSON format within the body as a string and have changed the “BodyFormat” to “application/json”

Do you guys have any insights into what can be done to to fix this issue?

The following format we are providing the JSON in:

“{

Hey @asitmsingh
I noticed that JSON contains “smart quotes (“ ”) instead of standard quotes ("). These curly quotes are not valid in JSON, which is why the API fails to process it.
I fixed it, so try using this version of the JSON as a string in UiPath:

“{”“ShipmentRequest”“:{”“Request”“:{”“SubVersion”“:”“1801"”,““RequestOption””:““nonvalidate””,““TransactionReference””:{““CustomerContext””:“”“”}},““Shipment””:{““Description””:““Ship WS test””,““Shipper””:{““Name””:““XYZ””,““AttentionName””:““ShipperZs Attn Name””,““TaxIdentificationNumber””:““123456"”,”“Phone”“:{”“Number”“:”“1115554758"”,““Extension””:“”“”},““ShipperNumber””:““XXXXX””,““FaxNumber””:““8002222222"”,”“Address”“:{”“AddressLine”“:”“123 W Street”“,”“City”“:”“City”“,”“StateProvinceCode”“:”“ST”“,”“PostalCode”“:”“00000"”,““CountryCode””:““US””}},““ShipTo””:{““Name””:““John Doe””,““AttentionName””:““1160b_74"”,”“Phone”“:{”“Number”“:”“9225377171"”},““Address””:{““AddressLine””:““123 N Street””,““City””:““City””,““StateProvinceCode””:““ST””,““PostalCode””:““00000"”,”“CountryCode”“:”“US”“},”“Residential”“:”“”“},”“ShipFrom”“:{”“Name”“:”“BCU”“,”“AttentionName”“:”“1160b_74"”,““Phone””:{““Number””:““1234567890"”},”“FaxNumber”“:”“1234567890"”,““Address””:{““AddressLine””:““123 W Street””,““City””:““City””,““StateProvinceCode””:““ST””,““PostalCode””:““00000"”,”“CountryCode”“:”“US”“}},”“PaymentInformation”“:{”“ShipmentCharge”“:{”“Type”“:”“01"”,““BillShipper””:{““AccountNumber””:““XXXXXX””}}},““Service””:{““Code””:““03"”,”“Description”“:”“Express”“},”“Package”“:{”“Description”“:”“Test Package”“,”“Packaging”“:{”“Code”“:”“02"”,““Description””:““Nails””},““Dimensions””:{““UnitOfMeasurement””:{““Code””:““IN””,““Description””:““Inches””},““Length””:““10"”,”“Width”“:”“30"”,““Height””:““45"”},”“PackageWeight”“:{”“UnitOfMeasurement”“:{”“Code”“:”“LBS”“,”“Description”“:”“Pounds”“},”“Weight”“:”“5"”}}},““LabelSpecification””:{““LabelImageFormat””:{““Code””:““GIF””,““Description””:““GIF””},““HTTPUserAgent””:““Mozilla/4.5"”}}”
