I need to send a dynamic number of POST parameter values to an endpoint (there could be 1 or there could be 50). All of them will have the same key value.
Is this possible? I can't seem to figure out how to create a RequestBody that encompasses something like this, even when I try to construct it in plain text.
I have the list of strings prepared for it, but I just don't know how to create this kind of thing. The endpoint works in PostMan when I input a lot of post form parameters with the same key value, so the endpoint is setup properly for it. I'm just not sure if Retrofit supports this kind of thing, and I cannot seem to find any info around it.
I'm currently working with Java instead of Kotlin. Thoughts?
You can also pass multiple field parameter to your request like this:
#FormUrlEncoded
#POST("/oauth/access_token")
Call<YourResponseObject> sendData(
#FieldMap Map<String, String> params
);
The map can take variable number of args.
So you can pass data like:
/*
map = { "field1_key"="value1", "field2_key"="value2", "field3_key"="value3", ...}
*/
retrofit().create(YourInterface.class).sendData(mapOfFields)
p.s: retrofit() is a method that returns a Retrofit instance to work with.

How to send array as parameter in API Call?
I just want to know how can I pass and array as parameter in Java,
Like:-
"list":[
{
"name":{{$randomFullName}},
"account":{{$randomAlphaNumeric}},
"accountbalance":{{$$randomInt}}
}
"Message": "Dear {{name}}, your {{$accountnumber}} has been credited with Rs.{{($accountbalance)}}.
}
I just want to pass name, account, account-balance in the message body.
Your question seems to be a bit unclear.
If you just want to set the values during runtime, before sending the request, you need to set the environment and add these as the variables in the postman.
Or if you're trying to build the whole list dynamically, then you can write the complete code for that in the request script and simply use that while sending the request. This can help you with the same.
it doesn't work that way . You can't use a parameter as an object in a request body . Instead , you should extract the list in your code and then send message accordingly in code only .
am trying to create a web interface to interact with OVH's telephony API ovh telephony api using the official JAVA wrapper OVH java wrapper.
I am trying to use a GET endpoint with parameters. this is the endpoint:
GET /telephony/{billingAccount}/line/{serviceName}/statistics
Parameters:
timeframe: string;
type : string
This is how I am doing the call:
api.get("/telephony/{myBuildingAccount}/line/{myServiceNumber}/statistics", "timeframe=daily&type=maxDelay", true);
But I am getting an error 400 bad signature.
Could someone help me with this ?
The API of the java wrapper specifies that the api.get method receives as the second parameter (in the three parameters version of api.get) the GET body; but you are passing a string containing the URL parameters:
api.get("/telephony/{ACCT}/line/{NUM}/statistics", "timeframe=daily&type=maxDelay", true);
Since the request you need does not require a body and does require the parameters in the URL, you need to use the following invocation:
api.get("/telephony/{ACCT}/line/{NUM}/statistics?timeframe=daily&type=maxDelay", true);
Pay attention that {ACCT} and {NUM} must be replaced by the actual account and service number values in that first string. Also, notice the parameters are appended directly into the string URL.
Hope this helps.
I have a need to extract a field parsed from a "complex" response header and use that value later in the test.
It seems that the "header" keyword in Karate is set up for setting request headers, not parsing response headers.
Is there a way to add a custom step definition maintaining access to the scenario variable stores? It appears the variable stores are private in the StepDefs class, and there doesn't seem to be a way to extend it easily.
You can get access to the response headers. Please look at the documentation for responseHeaders.
That said, the match header short-cut is most likely what you are looking for.
Karate's philosophy is that you never need to write custom step-definitions.
edit: some examples, sounds like you just need to do some string manipulation of the Location header ? You can freely mix JS code into Karate expressions.
* def location = responseHeaders['Location'][0]
# assume location = 'foo?bar=baz'
* def bar = location.substring(location.indexOf('bar=') + 4)
Hi I am new Rest and was developing API where in request parameters i get comes from client and it is different each time. I will then have to call another API. I want to write one method to get JSON data from 3rd party API. I checked online and all examples were same. I am using Unirest follpwing is what I have done
HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = Unirest.get("https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/questions").
header("accept", "application/json").
queryString("order","desc").
queryString("sort", "creation").
queryString("filter", "default").
queryString("site", "stackoverflow").
asJson();
Currently I have written all the queryString values.
Is there a way I can dynamically do this like put it in a map and give it to the method.
Yes, you can pass it a Map (Java source). The method signature is
public HttpRequest queryString(Map<String, Object> parameters)
I have a request in the form of json,which looks like this.
{"User":{"email":"test#test.com","FName":"fname"}}
When I try to send it via REST assured ,the U in the User is seen to change its case.i.e. changes to a lower case.
To send the request I have created my own serialized classes. The end-point is seen like this:
{"user":{"email":"test#test.com","FName":"fname"}}
but somehow it is not changing the case of the remaining fields.I don't knwo why this is happening.
I've even tried to create a filter for a request specification,but couldn't go any further with that too. I also then thought of first converting the serialized object to a gson,and then check the case of the User, still no luck.
Error I get is:
The class, User,does not match the payload object for payload.
Please note I am trying to use the service of another team,so I really don't have an access to their code-base(Although not needed).Observe the space between the first , and user in the above message, is it worth noting?
I finally got away with it by converting the object(JSON) into a JSON string/payload.
And while passing it as a form parameter,passed the string/payload.
Somehow,still couldn't figure out why the formparameter/formparam option in RESTAssured did not allow the serialized object to go through. But,anyway got around it this time.
Thanks for the suggestions all.
