REST Data Source POST Operation

Sean Akers

Good morning APEX community. I am attempting to utilize the REST Data Source feature capabilities to retrieve data from a 3rd party API. The API specification requires the POST method with request body JSON object with dynamic values. I am able to produce the desired response from POSTman, and am looking to understand how to translate that into the REST Data Source configuration.

Test Results (Response Body). Note the empty "payload" array:

Any help in understanding the proper way to configure this type of REST Data Source would be greatly appreciated. We are running APEX 20.2 and ORDS 20.4 deployed to a Tomcat server, connected to a 12.1.02 database.

Thanks,

Sean

Following up. After some continued tweaking I was able to successfully produce the desired results. I was missing the Content-Type request header parameter set to 'application/json'.
