Hi @Anikalai

Welcome to our UiPath Forum! :slight_smile:

You can use the Parameters parameter of the HTTP Request activity:

You should simply replace the "yourString" with your String variable.

Some examples of the errors you are getting could help us dive deeper into your issue :slight_smile:

Could you also show how your HTTP Request is configured in both Studio and a working example using some other tool (i.e. Postman)?

This would help a lot.

Could you try passing the JSON in the Body field of the HTTP Request activity?

It accepts input as string, so you will have to escape all double quotes, like so:

"{""key"":""value""}"

There are other ways to pass this JSON input to this field, such as:

  1. Load it from a text file as is (no need to escape quotes) using the Read Text File activity
  2. Create it from scratch, more on that here.

@loginerror ,

I also have a similar doubt.How to pass a file path to a API call in HTTP request.
I have the URL and key that works fine. The API will convert that file and return me a ID(in numbers) but if i pass file as a parameter in string throws empty error

Hi @Stealth_Coder

I am not sure I understand your reqest.

Could you maybe post a screenshot how you would achieve the same in let’s say Postman (or any other tool of your choice)?
