Hello,
We’re using API Gateway and the request body needs to be stringified before sending. Right now, I the request body with a json under “raw” and the content-type of application/json.
I’ve tried using:
var body = {
name: 'Test'
};
pm.environment.set('req_body', JSON.stringify(body));
Then passing in {{req_body}}, but it’s coming in as the whole stringified object as a key with an empty value.
Any ideas in this particular scenario how to get this to work in Postman?
Thank you
HI @davems
Could you give a bit more details please? I tried the following which seemed to work as expected
Pre-request script
Body
Console after sending (pretty)
or raw
(Note: Google replied with Error 405 (Method Not Allowed)!! as you’d expect.)
For future user’s landing on this issue:
Make sure your request body is only this (no quotes around the variable name, otherwise it’ll get converted to a string):
{{req_body}}
and not this:
"{{req_body}}"
Here’s a collection showing you how to do it directly in Postman, feel free to fork it and edit it to your needs: Postman
thank you so much for your answer.
Hi, I have some problem regarding getting timeCardId on my respose body. It’s Getting Null value.
Please Help
What if I only want one field to use this JSON, not the entire request body? e.g.
{
“SomeProperty”: “SomeValue”,
“JsonProperty”: {{jsonValue}}
}
How should I set the {{jsonValue}}?
