Can't get a result page after submitting form-data to POST request

Hi everybody,

I tried several times, to get a search form results page without success via POST. I get the search form page for response.

Here are the form content :

================================================== form #1 ==================================================
{‘action’: ‘event-chercher.php’, ‘method’: ‘post’, ‘inputs’:
[{‘type’: ‘hidden’, ‘name’: ‘textDescriptifDefault’, ‘value’: “Texte de l’événement”},
{‘type’: ‘hidden’, ‘name’: ‘textThemeDefault’, ‘value’: ‘Catégorie’},
{‘type’: ‘hidden’, ‘name’: ‘year1Default’, ‘value’: ‘Année’},
{‘type’: ‘text’, ‘name’: ‘textDescriptif’, ‘value’: “Texte de l’événement”},
{‘type’: ‘text’, ‘name’: ‘textTheme’, ‘value’: ‘Catégorie’},
{‘type’: ‘text’, ‘name’: ‘year1’, ‘value’: ‘Année’},
{‘type’: ‘text’, ‘name’: ‘year2’, ‘value’: ‘2020’},
{‘type’: ‘submit’, ‘name’: ‘buttonEnvoyer’, ‘value’: ‘Rechercher’},
{‘type’: ‘submit’, ‘name’: ‘buttonEffacer’, ‘value’: ‘Effacer’}]}

And here how I have configured Postman :

Are you sure that’s the right url?

Are you expecting a json result back? If everything was working, what would you expect to see?

Allen, thanks for your answer; i’m pretty sure for the URL.

Here is the search form page : /event-chercher.php
Here is the search result page : /event-resultats.php

What I’m expecting is the search results datas (like those displayed on /event-resultats.php after a search) in JSON or HTML format - it doesn’t matter, I’ll rework the datas format after that)

Thanks !

Is this your webpage?

Do you know if this API is public?

5

Unfortunately, no. Neither is my website nor API is public. Begin to think that’s my first problem, more than technical problem !

Yeah, if it’s not a public API, then you won’t be able to access it publicly :slight_smile:

Crap ! Guess I’ll try with a scrappy script. Thanks for your answers !
