Http Client Parameters - Accept header & User-Agent

Help Activities

Hey! Im attempting to use the http client activity for quickly retrieving html content for links. I am currently trying to reduce the amount of 403 http statuses and also Ive noticed in the bots working directory that some attachments are getting download for some reason. I tried adding these two parameters:

The image shows an HTTP Request Wizard interface with parameters set for a GET request, including "Accept" and "User-Agent" HTTP headers. (Captioned by AI)

But I may be doing something wrong here, because instead of getting less error and no attachments, I am still seeing attachments after a test run in the working directory and I am now seeing a bunch of 400 http statuses.

Here is the string im using for the user agent: “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/130.0.6723.92 Safari/537.36”

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Did you first happen to try on postman?

Hey, No I haven’t Im constrained to use UiPath Studio for the project, so unfortunately unless stability using http requests can be achieved I’d have to fallback to using regular UiAutomation (opening each link in a browser instance), which is considerably slower but more stable.

Use UiPath only but first to test the endponts better to use postman and check and then replicate same in UiPath
