Hi @raviranjan, You have to import Soap and Rest activities from the packages (Hope you know it 🙂) Then drag the activity “HTTP Request” into your sequence, it will prompt for the URL and the parameters, you can change the request type as well ---

Hi Raviranjan, Using body of POST method you can send it in 2 formats. JSON or XML. if JSON “{”“Key1"”:““value1"”,”“key2"”:““value2"”,”“key3"”:““value3"”}” Normal JSON will have double quotes or single quotes for key and values but while sending in Body you have to escape the double quotes with another double quotes.(as shown above) Note: if the value is a interger no need to give double quotes. Please refer to the following link > [@HTTP Post Request error](https://forum.uipath.com/t/http-post-request-error/32881/10): > > Hi Sarathi , one question. Is following syntax is correct for HTTP Request Body? { "webServiceReq":{ "channelId":"RPA", "cifId":"123456789", "serReqId":"getlist", "requestUUID":"12345678", "request": { "custId":"0122345678" } } } ---

I understood this part but i need to pass parameters in body as shown in SS. More like a dictionary elements. How do i do that ? ![ss](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/3X/d/3/d3002cb5cad6799e198be3d93af91043c2ace580.png) ---

I just tried the same as in the above link, it is working exactly and was a great solution. Change your body type to application/json and make your body as a string . Here is the sample body which i tried “{”“Key”" : ““Value””,““Key”” : ““Value””,““Key”” : ““Value””}" Make sure it is a string and you can directly paste in the body Just simple make the single (“) to double (”") so that it will make the json as string and you don’t need to give spaces for each key value pair. ---

Nope. 😕 No luck. One more thing, do i need to pass OAuth2 token in Http Request activity also or just send it along body as we are doing now. Or do we need to pass token in both places. ---

Yup. Just tried it. Its not working 😕. Basically, this should upload the given attributes(‘Name’, ‘type’, ‘altitude’, etc.) to a website(Endpoint). I am attaching the .xaml file. Hope it could help. ---

Yeah. But, the problem is its not updating the list in the website which is supposed to be updated after this query. And also, it will return 200 even if the token provided is incorrect. 200 is just an indication that it is successfully hitting the endpoint. ---
