Hey @ydash999

I think there is some error in request building…

What’s the endpoint you are trying to hit & show the props of the API activity please…

May be you are using a GET request instead of POST

Thanks

Hey @ydash999

You can refer orchestrator API swagger documentation…

{{orchestratorURL}}/swagger

Else, please show us the endpoint to suggest please…

Thanks

[ydash999 (YashdevUiPath)]

here is the endpoint bro

[ydash999 (YashdevUiPath)]

i watched a video and did exactly like that, still the error bro

[Nithinkrishna]

Hey @ydash999

So, you want to get list of folders from orchestrator is that correct ?

Thanks
#nK

[Nithinkrishna]

Hey @ydash999

If the above is true.

Just remove the word orchestrator_ from your endpoint URL and make the request method as GET again please.

Hope that helps.

Thanks

[ydash999 (YashdevUiPath)]

same error is showing bro

[ydash999 (YashdevUiPath)]

yes! i want all the folders

[Nithinkrishna]

Hey @ydash999

Please check if your orchestrator URL is right !

Also use exact endpoint as here after your orchestrator URL - /odata/Folders

And use the method type as GET

This way is working fine for me !

Thanks

[ydash999 (YashdevUiPath)]

and did everything by watching a video. all was good in that video, but in my system it is showing error

Hello @ydash999 ,

Better you can test it with postman as well.
