ICS - XX: The XX field is required

[Rolphy Reyes 0]

I have Delphi Berlin (10.1) installed.

 

I have to consume an API endpoint

 

I've been using the Indy component suite and the Delphi native component suite TNetHTTPClient to send an XML file and the results are not what I expected; plus I'm very new to this.

 

Using the component suites mentioned above I get all kinds of errors except those that the API should report. However, using the PostMan application, the API returns correctly.

 

I haven't installed the ICS component suite yet, but I've run some of its examples, and the OverbyteIcsHttpRestTst.exe application example is pretty close to achieving what I need. If you look closely, you can see the error I get when attempting to send a message in the attached image. Can you help me resolve this issue?

 

TIA

Such as? Can you be more specific?

What exactly are you entering into postman?

Not without knowing what the endpoint is actually expecting, and what your actual code looks like that is not working for you.

ICS is simply reporting a REST API error that says your XML contains an error.  So you need to correct your XML. Or maybe you are using the wrong API?

I understand from the error message that you need to send the file as a "xml" field and not directly in body.

How it is working in PostMan? The XML is also in the body or you define a field named "xml" containing the file?

Hi!

I attach an image of how sending the file works in Postman.

Hi!

 

Sorry, I can't describe the errors because I didn't save any pictures of them.

 

Attached is an image of how it works in Postman.

Hi!

 

My XML file is correct. And I'm using the correct URL. What I don't know is how to add the parameter from the OverbyteIcsHttpRestTst.exe application, just like Postman does.

Hi!

 

I'm sorry if I wasted your valuable time.

 

But I found the right way to send the file. I think I was too exhausted and didn't understand the entire example.

 

Anyway, thank you very much.

 

This time, ICS saved my life.
