[NEED HELP] HTTP Post - Send a Report Info.

[mperezmoy]

Hello everyone,

I am currently doing a PUT/POST integration and it is the first time I do them. I have to make a call to a URL with some specific headers to be able to send information to another system. This information is in an archer report. Back, the call will return me information of each record. The problem is that I don't know how to complete the configuration of the data feed, where and how to indicate which report I want to send.

I have opened several cases to archer support but they don't know how to do it, I just need to know where and how to indicate which report I want to send and with which type of connection I should connect, with user, without user etc.

Thank you very much in advance

@mperezmoy Archer's HTTP transporter data feed can only do one request and that's it.  What I think you're trying to do is make a request to the remote system and if successful send the URL to the report to that remote system to do something.

If that is correct, you'd have to use a JavaScript transporter data feed instead that can handle multiple requests.

Hello @DavidPetty , If i only want to send the information on the report in archer, how should I set that in the data feed? is it posible? I didn't found any example. I will be glad if you can told em some guidance.

Thank you so much

@mperezmoy Can you elaborate more on "send the information on the report in Archer".  I'm kind of lost on what you're trying to do.

Hello @DavidPetty , i want to send/POST the information located on an Archer report  on a particular URL, but i don't know if this is going to work  and how should i specify the Post Data section.

[DavidPetty]

The Post Data section just sends what's there to the URL listed in the Data Request URI.  It's up to server to process that information and do something with it.

The quest is what structure does the remote system need the post data formatted as: JSON, URL Encoded, etc.

@DavidPetty i need to send the information on the report as a JSON strucutre

[DavidPetty · Accepted solution]

So, you are actually wanting to send the data from the report itself to that URL?

Then you'd definitely need to use a JavaScript transporter data feed.

@DavidPetty Okei, this is not an option for our client because it includes an aditional cost, is there any other alternatives? If there is not, thank you so much for your help and suppor David

[DavidPetty]

The only alternative would be writing a PowerShell script to do this, but again this would probably be and additional cost unless your client has someone proficient in writing PowerShell scripts.
