Making post requests to external API in AEM author

Do you see any error in console or error log? Did you try with GET method also, is that working?

can you please provide your Servlet class definition (how you defined) and how you are calling in HTL

above configurations are looking good

CSRF Filter and Referrer Filter

Add the servlet path /bin/mycustompost to the Adobe Granite CSRF Filter's excluded paths.

Add the external API host to the Apache Sling Referrer Filter's allowed hosts.

@Component(service = Servlet.class,
        property = {
                ServletResolverConstants.SLING_SERVLET_PATHS + "=/bin/mycustompost",
                ServletResolverConstants.SLING_SERVLET_METHODS + "=" + HttpConstants.METHOD_POST
        })
public class CustomPostServlet extends SlingAllMethodsServlet {

<form id="customPostForm">
    <input type="text" name="key" placeholder="Enter value" required>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form

<script>
    document.getElementById('customPostForm').addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        var formData = new FormData(this);
        fetch('/bin/mycustompost', {
            method: 'POST',
            body: formData
        })
        .then(response => response.json())

Hi @stiegjo22 ,

Which error you are getting when you try aem servlet endpoint(post) request from postman?

There may be following reason for 404-

• Check if any typo in the url of external Api getting used in servlet.
• Most probably you may be configuring the endpoint in configuration and using in servlet, if that is the case check the configuration value.
• Servlet might be not getting registered so check the annotation and imports

Thanks

Now I'm seeing an error related to SSL certificate validation. The PKIX path building failed error indicates that the Java runtime is unable to find a valid certification path to the requested target, which means the SSL certificate of the target server is not trusted by the Java truststore.
