OAC: HTTP API - passing DV filter values

joe.kunkle

I have a business case where I need to transmit the filter values (from the filter bar) through an OAC DV Data Action to the URL, which in turn triggers the execution of Python code for generating PPT slide decks. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to access the filter values that can be passed through a Data Action HTTP API to an external URL.

I was hoping with the latest OAC update (Jul-2023) that it would address passing filter values through a Data Action.

Is there away that I can accomplish this? Thanks.

Hi Joe,

See if this would help you. Please, look at "Use a URL Navigation Data Action to Pass Parameter Values". This uses URL Navigation instead of HTTP API data action:

This blog that illustrates parameter binding. The parameter values can be applied to an external URL:

Here you can see how to Bind Parameters to Filters:
