Custom Connector - Bank of Canada

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to make a custom connector with the Bank of Canada API in order to update a bunch of exchange rates in comparison to USD.

I tried to follow the documentation as much as I could but I get no response when I test it.

Here's all the information I added:

Scheme: HTTPS

Host: bankofcanada.ca

Base URL: /valet

Security: No Authentication

Summary: Get Exchange Rate

Description: Get the rate based on the USD

Operation ID: GetExchangeRate

Visibility: None

For the Request within the Definition Section, see the picture below

Request.PNG

See the picture below for when I edit the path

Path.PNG

 

When I run the test, I get this.

If you try to access this link via the browser https://bankofcanada.ca/valet/fx_rss/FXUSDCAD (which is what I try to query the server in Flow), it works just fine so I'm not sure why it's not working in here.

Any help is appreciated!!

    Not an expert but a think body response is not valid for custom connector.

    I've done the same custom connector with the same "unknown" response.

    You can test the called url with your browser you'll get the file, don't forget to add bearer.
