I'm having the following issue:
I need to call an external API with "Report search criteria and export options are passed in request XML file."
How to do this in Power Automate?
I want to use this to automate reporting.
Any help would be great.
did you mean to say "Report search criteria and export options are passed as XML in the POST request body/payload" ? Does your external API come with documentation and examples?
Hello,
The documentation for the API can be found here: https://support.blancco.com/display/KB/API+documentationFor example:Im'having the following XML file (filename:API_XML_Request_test.xml)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><request><export-report><report mode="original"/><search path="report.report_date" value="2022-12-01 00:00:00" operator="gt" datatype="date" conjunction="true" /><search path="report.report_date" value="2023-01-01 00:00:00" operator="lt" datatype="date" conjunction="true" /><reportColumns><columnPath>report.uuid</columnPath><columnPath>report.report_date</columnPath><columnPath>blancco_data.blancco_hardware_report.system.serial</columnPath><columnPath>user_data.fields.Asset ID</columnPath></reportColumns><csv-options csvLanguage="en_US" delimiter=";" subDelimiter=":"/></export-report></request>When running a CURL command
curl --user [Username]:[password] --basic --form "xmlRequest=@API_XML_Request_test.xml" https://cloud.blancco.com:443/rest-service/report/export/csv
on Windows everything works fine.
The question now is how to do this in Power Automate?
