Http Get Request Parameters in the Body

Help Activities
, ,

Hi There,

I was wondering if the HTTP Request activity accepts parameters in the Body for a GET request. Although its not common, i have a usecase where the parameters are sent via the body and not using the parameters property (for the queryString). This works with tools like Postman or even in a C# app, but doesnt work in UiPath Studio

Thank you
Hara

unfortunately it did not work. The examples given above may work for POST requests but not for GET requests, or may be I missed something. I finally wrote VB using Invoke code. Here is it if it helps:

Dim client As New System.Net.Http.HttpClient()
Dim request As New System.Net.Http.HttpRequestMessage(System.Net.Http.HttpMethod.Get, url)

Dim byteArray =  System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(apiUser + ":" + apiPassword)
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic " & Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray))

Dim bodyParameters As New Dictionary(Of String, String)()
bodyParameters.Add("key", val)

Dim bodyContent As New System.Net.Http.StringContent(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(bodyParameters), System.Text.Encoding.UTF8, "application/json")
request.Content = bodyContent

Dim response As System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage = client.SendAsync(request).Result
checklistStatus = Convert.ToBoolean(response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result)

Cheers
Hara
