Hi
I have an API interaction that is receiving an application/octet-stream that provides a URL for said data.
I would like to now POST that data somewhere, how do I achieve that with the HTTP connector in Power Automate?
In my example I'm using DropBox's API, but this could be any API.
I have requested a file using their Temporary Link request, and I am now wanting to uploading it to DropBox (which, again, could be anywhere) and have been given an upload slot using their Temporary Upload Link request.
All I now need to do is send the data on the provided URL to the URL that they have given me. How do I post data using Power Automate?
....
I might have a lead in an unrelated StartPage search, if it pans out, I'll post the answer here.
EDIT - It wasn't what I thought ... I tried this in the body and it just created a file with that text in the destination. Grah
{
"content": "https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitl/1/OBFUSCATED1-AA-111-OBFUSC_ATED2-OBFUSCATED3-OBFUSCATED4-bbb-OBFUSCATED5-OBFUSCATED6"
}
EDIT 2 - Do I need to fully form the JSON message in the body section?
So, for example, I have a URI that is bespoke each time, but here's a made up example:
https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitul/1/MadEUpURi228xJJJ
I've got the header for Content-Type set as:
application/octet-stream
I just don't know how I push the data from the URL previously fake listed, so now I'm wondering if I need to mess with the JSON itself and create it from scratch. There's a few posts about creating it and putting the Content-Type in the Body with a dollar symbol ... Is that the direction?
Should I be doing something with:
data-binary @
