HTTP request to UiPath's Platform Management API returns, 415

[AlbPalma (Palma-Valenzuela Alberto)]

Hello,

I’m following the official API guide: Automation Cloud - Allocate Licenses to a User

I completed all the previous steps, and everything works fine in Postman using a raw body.

However, when I try to use the same setup with the HTTP Request activity, I get a 415 error: “Unsupported media type.”

Here are some screenshots of my configuration:

And this is the body I’m sending:

{"userIds:[“userID”],"userBundleCodes:["CODEA",“CODEB”],“useExternalLicense”:booleanValue}

Note: There is no carriage return or spaces in the body.

I’ve tried many different approaches, but I still can’t get a 200 or 202 response.

Could someone please share any advice or guidance?

Hi @AlbPalma

Above one is a POST request and you are trying with PUT which is wrong, try changing to POST and let us know if you still facing issue

Hope this helps you

Hi @AlbPalma

For raw body, try json as body/content type instead of plain text, should work.

Hi, @AlbPalma

Change the UiPath HTTP Request “Request body type” to JSON and set a header Content-Type: application/json, then pass your body as a valid JSON string.

Hello, thanks a lot for your responses!

@Srini84 When I try using POST, I receive a “Forbidden” error.

@sonaliaggarwal47 @arjun.shiroya Thanks to your suggestions, the error changed from 415 to 400, a small step forward )

Here are a few screenshots of the setup:

And this is the body I’m sending:: {“userIds:[”{{userID}}“],“userBundleCodes:[”{{codeA}}”,“{{CodeB}}”],“useExternalLicense”:{{booleanAsString}}

I’ve experimented with different formats, with and without headers, but still no luck

HTTP Request | Error 415 - Unsupported Media Type

Hi. I’m currently trying to request the following API, here’s how it looks like in Postman: [image] It’s supposed to respond with a “requestSent”: true, but it keeps on returning a 415 Error, kindly check last pic And here’s how the request looks in the HTTP request wizard (UiPath Activity) [image.png] And this is the error I get: [image.png] Are my parameters modified incorrectly, how can I make this work? Thanks, Mc

Hope this helps you
