Hi Everyone, I'm facing an issue in HTTP POST request.

1. I'm getting my input file from SharePoint folder when i try to give that file Path it is throwing me an error not accepting the SharePoint URL in HTTP body.

Format which i'm using in HTTP Body

{

"urlSource": "MySharepoint file url"

}

2. Instead of this i'm trying to use Base64 file content in Body but this is also throwing me an error saying that "Invalid Argument"

Format which i'm using in HTTP Body

{

"fileName": "my file name",

"urlSource": "Base64FileContent Variable"

}

It is giving below error.

{

"error": {

"code": "InvalidArgument",

"message": "Invalid argument.",

"innererror": {

"code": "ParameterMissing",

"message": "The parameter urlSource or base64Source is required."

}

Hey @PrathapReddy1

Can you be more precise in what do you want to achieve? Do you want to create an new document in sharepoint with a filecontent as a base64 ?

Hi @CU06020423-0 ,

I used "Get file content" to retrieve the based64 formatted string.

Then you should pass this to your HTTP POST request body.
