Passing XML body to REST API client

Anonymous — Mon, 13 Aug 2018 23:23:49 GMT

Hi All,

First let me say that I am really, really, really new to Talend, but not to IT. I know what I want to do, but I need help figuring out how to do it in Talend.

I am trying to pass a small bit of XML to a tREST_Client.

Here is what I have so far:

As you can see I have an exclamation point which is there because of:

Warning: No schema has been defined yet

Error: Parameter (Mapping) must have at least one value.

When I run the job as is I get the following:

I am trying to access Quickbase, but to do that the first thing you have to do is get an authentication token which I am planning to write to the outfile and retrieve it for the next process.

The working curl statement I have is:

curl --request POST \
--url https://mycompany.quickbase.com/db/main \
--header 'cache-control: no-cache' \
--header 'content-type: application/xml' \
--header 'quickbase-action: API_Authenticate' \
--data '<qdbapi>\n <username>me@mycompany.com</username>\n <password>ReallyCleverPassword01</password>\n <hours>1</hours>\n <udata>optional data</udata>\n</qdbapi>'

Any thoughts on where I am going wrong?

Thanks!

Hello,

If you want to pass directly the xml file as request to the web service when calling, read the root element as a node, see below:
