External API activity

[pushpad15690171]

i am trying to get response from a public api using the external api activity but it is giving error saying json format not acceptable.

Also in the url it is saying this is not a valid integer. Please suggest what can be the issue?

Unfortunately the format supported is rather limited (see docu below).

Anything not following this standard can't be parsed. (Mainly then nothing can be parsed)

So basically you nearly always needs something intermediary translating the data from the public service to ACS JSON format.

Thanks for your response Raman, moreover i am using the same link to configure the activity and when i run the worklfow the activity gives error saying malformed json but when i parse the json in the activity it is done correctly as per the doc

Is the JSON content exactly the same?

I saw issues where the actual JSON had nulls or different data formats.

You may have to check the column. definition in the activity if the automatic. parsing generated something useful

yes i have checked the column definition it generates the two fields i have added in the json sample given by my api
