TA-Webtools: How to add headers in a POST request ?

duuhsousa — Mon, 22 Oct 2018 17:51:04 GMT

Hi there!

I am trying to use TA-Webtools for start a automation flow. To do this I need to make a POST request as below

curl -k -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" --data '{"flowUuid":"xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx","inputs":{"A1": "B1","A2":"B2"}}' "https://server:8080/xxx/rest/v2"

Using TA-Webtools I am using the search command below

<my search> | curl method=POST data="{'flowUuid':'xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'}" uri=https://server:8080/xx/rest/v2

This command isn't working because are missing the header "Content-type: application/json".

How can I include this?
I think that I need to edit the python scripts, but how ?

See release version 1.1.0

I couldnt make it work in the command like you wanted

     | curl data="JSON_DATA_HERE"

I had to make use of eval function to make the JSON field that gets passed to the request

     | makeresults count=1  | eval header="{\"content-type\":\"application/json\"}" | eval data="{\"test data\":None}" | curl uri=https://localhost:8089/services user=admin pass=changme debug=true headerfield=header datafield=data

Let me know how it works for you

I am using this app https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4146
The curl command is not picking up method=POST and always returning error 405 and
{"error":{"detail":"GET method not supported for API","message":"Method not Supported"},"status":"failure"}

I used this command
| eval header="{\"Content-Type\":\"application/json\", \"Accept\":\"application/json\"}"
| curl method=post uri= user= pass= headerfield= header

Now I am not sure how to make a POST call to an external API from Splunk search. Every time it is being detected as GET.
