Read Post Response Body

[TomerH]

Hi,

We need to integrate ThingWorx with a company web application.

The application receive json as an input than it returning response with a base64 content inside the body.

Using postman for testing we can see the body in the response.

Our issue is we could not find a way to see the body in the response using ThingWorx service using  ContentLoaderFunctions services like PostJSON.

Anyone know how can we read the body response of a post request using ThingWorx?

BR,

Tomer.

Hi @TomerH 

I've tried with a sample POST JSON API and it is working fine. I'm able to read response from server

Could you please tell me your Thingworx version and how you are trying to implement it?

Hi @Velkumar,

Thank you for the reply.

Lets say the web application returning a binary base64 content similar to my txt attachment and content type is application/pdf

In my system we can also see the reply result.

As you see also at the image you provided there are responseHeaders and responseStatus.

But how can I read the content or the responseBody?

If needed, I Will add more images tomorrow to give more context to my question.

Best Regards,

Tomer.

Hi @TomerH 

In my example API, the token value is the response from the server side.

Here is the best example with multiple key values :

API Link - Reqres - A hosted REST-API ready to respond to your AJAX requests

Please add images that will help us to understand better.

Hi @Velkumar ,

I am adding 2 images.

first is a postman post request, you can see the pdf in the body.

the second is a ThingWorx request where the body is missing.

EDIT:

So found the reason for the missing body.

The PostJSON return only JSON response,

When I used PostBinary it return the pdf output but this way I cannot post my JSON.

I do not understand the limitation that the output need to be as the input but at least now i know the issue.

After changing the application response to JSON it did solve the problem.

Best Regards,

Tomer.
