I am trying to move data from a RESTFul API running on my on-prem application to ADB with ADF. I have installed self-paced IR in my private network to run the activity/pipeline. Now in one of my API requires form-data to submit in POST call. Equivalent Postman looks like below
Can you please suggest how to perform the same in ADF(As I will be running in self-paced IR dataflow is not applicable). I am trying with "Web" Activity but dont know how to pass form data in it. please help.
The curl command is as below
curl --location --request POST 'http://xxxxxx:8080/security/token' \
--header 'Connection: keep-alive' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Origin: http://xxxxxxx:8080' \
--form 'grant_type="password"' \
--form 'client_id="xxweb"' \
--form 'client_secret="xxweb"' \
--form 'username="xxx_admin"' \
--form 'password="xxxxxxx"

Hello @Suman Mukherjee ,
Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
As we understand the ask here is to know how to pass the form data content type in Web activity , please do let us know if its not accurate
I do not have an API to test that , but I think you will have update the header to use "multipart/form-data" and also have pass the data in a very specfic format . Please do read the below blog as I think it should help .
https://www.outsystems.com/blog/posts/consuming-multipart-form-data-rest-method/ .
Also what is the response type of the API is question , is it JSON . Just to let you know that ADF web activitry at this time only accepts JSON in response .
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/control-flow-web-activity#type-properties
Please do let me if you have any queries.
Thanks
Himanshu
