I am trying to pull some API data from Site24x7 site. My curl command is as below. I have input these values in REST API Modular Input, but still not getting any data. Mostly I am suspecting the http header properties I am passing. Please help?

curl  "https://www.site24x7.com/api/reports/sla_reports/availability?period={1}" \
                   -X GET -H "Accept: application/json; version=2.0" \
                   -H "Authorization: Zoho-authtoken xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Your CURL command has 2 headers defined , and in the stanza you’ve turned this into 3 delimited headers.

So try (notice the “;” after json)

Accept=application/json; version=2.0,Authorization=Zoho-authtoken xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Any errors are in the logs.

Searchable with …….. index=_internal error ExecProcessor rest.py
