Hi @Vamsi_Envoy

Could you show the python code

Also do you have the python2 installed in your system?

@Nived_Nambiar
Yes i have installed the Python2 in my machine.
My Code:
-----------------------------------
import requests
url = "RequestUrl"
payload={'baseDocumentId': 'f8152e6c',
'documentTypeId': '1449',
'isReferenceDocument': 'true',
'baseProfileIds': '4feff1756478',
'sendNotifications': 'false',
'legalMatterId': '586207365964'}
files=[
('file',('Capture.PNG',open('C:\\Users\\Downloads\\Capture.png','rb'),'application/octet-stream'))
]
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Bearer Token'
}
response =requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files)
print(response)
But this is the same code working fine in Run DOS Command Action but the thing is my bot was unable to find uploading is successfull or not if it not success my bot needs to retry the same process.

Hi @Vamsi_Envoy

Use this modified code 🙂

import sys sys.path.append(r"c:\Python27\Lib") import requests url = "RequestUrl" payload={'baseDocumentId': 'f8152e6c', 'documentTypeId': '1449', 'isReferenceDocument': 'true', 'baseProfileIds': '4feff1756478', 'sendNotifications': 'false', 'legalMatterId': '586207365964'} files=[ ('file',('Capture.PNG',open('C:\\Users\\Downloads\\Capture.png','rb'),'application/octet-stream')) ] headers = { 'Authorization': 'Bearer Token' } response =requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files) print(response)
PAD need to identify where the request module is, so I have added 2 lines of codes at starting. Hope it helps 🙂

Mark it as solution if it resolves your query

Hi @Vamsi_Envoy

Not sure why it is not working, i was reffering one post where using this same technique it worked there.

But you have told me that it using Run DOS command it is working, But you are not getting output, have you check the variable which stores output of that command in run dos action ?
