REST connection - x-www-form-urlencoded

Hello,

I am encountering some issue to setup a connection to a REST API, using POST with a x-www-form-urlencoded body.

In Postman this is working well, and it sends me back the token for subsequent API calls :

PostmanPostman HTML code

In QlikSense I configured it this way, by doing copy paste of Postman parameters:

Endpoint & bodyContent type

But I am still getting 403 error.

Is it a formatting issue on the body, or do you think about anything else ?

Thanks in advance for any advice !

Hi @fabrice_lattern

By any chance do you have a screenshot that shows the error?

In addition from postman itself, there is an icon in the top right section with this symbol </> , if you click on it it will let you get code on other languages, I would select Powershell and get the script, that way you make sure you are passing all the parameters that postman is passing and then just copy them to QS and verify the outcome.

Hope it helps!

For future reference

Select PowerShell - RestMethod
