Using raw JSON to post request Azure Key Vault?

Question

For my implementation I have to use raw JSON to send a post request to Azure Key Vault.

Using form-data in Postman I don't have any problems.

Switching the body to raw-JSON I get the 400 error code.

Is it impossible to send requests in raw-JSON? Is there a way to turn on this feature?

Answer 1

This endpoint cannot read raw JSON.

The only solution is to modify the request body to use urlencoded format.

In Postman this can be done by changing the content type to: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

and the body to Raw with the content inside the body as &{key}={value} for every key, value that the endpoint requires.

Answer 2

Hi @PK ,

Thanks for reaching out.

Your understanding is correct here.

To call the token endpoint to get the token, post request needs to send to login.microsoftonline.com with content-type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded .
