File in API call multipart/form-data

Custom Apps
1

Hi, I’m creating a custom app, but I have a problem during a creation of a module.
I need to insert in the API body a document that I need to send. Before this module I inserted the module HTTP Get File that response with a buffer, I need to insert this buffer inside the body but, I don’t know how to do.
Someone can help me? I tried to copy some solution but no one works.

Thanks in advance

Hi Samliew,
this is the JSON of the action that I created

{
	// Request to API endpoint with parameter "id" defined in Mappable parameters.
	"url": "/folders/{{ parameters.folder_id }}/documents/{{ parameters.document_id }}/file",     // Relative to base URL
	"method": "POST",
	"headers": {
		"bodyType": "multipart_form_data"
    },                       
	"qs": {},                              
	"body": {
		 "formDataFields": [
            {
                "key": "file",
                "data": "{{ parameters.data }}",
                "fileName": "{{ parameters.filename }}",
                "fieldType": "file"
            }
        ]
	},
	

	// Response handling
	"response": {
		"output": "{{undefined}}"  // Returns no output bundle as no API output is expected.
	}
}

The reference of the API call is this

curl --location --request POST
'https://demo.validsign.com/be/folders/1234/documents/1234/file' \
--header 'content-type: multipart/form-data' \
--form 'file=@"/C:/MyFile.pdf"'

The path of the file will be replaced with the buffer of the function Get File
Thank you in advance

This doesn’t look right.

Try

"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data"

Don’t work.

This is the input of my custom app

[
    {
        "folder_id": 10855,
        "array_file": [
            {
                "data": "IMTBuffer(53270, binary, 6638df3f2c7855ae5cb6176d0798ecad1d92e068): 255044462d312e340a25d3ebe9e10a312030206f626a0a3c3c2f5469746c65202847697448756220436f70696c6f7420666f7220427573696e657373202d20496e7465726e616c205465726d7320616e6420436f6e646974696f6e73290a2f50726f6475",
                "filename": "file.pdf"
            }
        ],
        "document_id": 9339
    }
]

This is the input of the HTTP request that do the same work.

Try adding a “download file” module. That’s helped me before.

You can’t really do that in a custom app, or am I missing something?

Yes, there is a “Get File” before the api call
