Application/x-www-form-urlencoded in a post request

Hi all,

I hope you have a great day.

I am struggling with an api from a customer that needs to receive data in application/x-www-form-urlencoded

As I can only add data in JSON, I am wondering if there is a workaround to get the data sent after all.

their docs says:

"POST Parameters
Send the following parameters as
application/x-www-form-urlencoded

product_id = Integer
name = String
email = String
phone = String
postcode = String
street = String
housenumber = String
city = String
description = String (optional)
questions = Array

and as an example (they say something about Guzzle):

3
3661×562 52.8 KB

I was wondering if I can for example, add these key-value pairs as url params?
for example:

1

and the {questions} was put together using the “add text column” step to create the array:

2

Hi @Alivio - Happy to take a look! Unfortunately we are unable to send data in the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format through our API steps. Parabola is only able to send data in JSON format.

If the API won’t accept anything other than application/x-www-form-urlencoded, it won’t be able to read the data that we send with our step.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

That is very disappointing, that means my new customer can’t use parabola. I’ll go looking for a different solution.
