Hi, I'm making a post request using 'Make a custom API call' module from workfront fusion scenario and getting 500 Error. Could anyone suggest what changes are needed in below configuration? Thanks in advance!

That's a very large string for content. Typically, you'd set Content-Type to application/json and POST the body as the JSON itself. What API are you trying to hit?

Hi @cverges I'm creating new nodes in AEM dam and need to make a POST call with content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I don't have an AEM Assets connection, so I can't screenshot anything. However, typically in the Custom API modules, there's a URL entry that points to a specific API endpoint (defined via mechanisms such as https://developer.adobe.com/experience-cloud/experience-manager-apis/api/stable/sites/). To really understand what API you're trying to use and why it may be erring, what's the URL that's in your module?

Hi @aembee

I'm not worried about the content size, I've done larger but:

use SetVariable module(s) prior to your AEM module and then use those variable in the AEM module.
I find it easier to troubleshoot that.
validate the JSON to ensure there's no illegal char

I don't know what URL you're hitting here, but 500 means AEM didn't like what you sent. Could be content type; names of parameters etc.

Do click the toolkit icon in Fusion to see the actual call made. And check that it 100% matches what the Assets API spec expects.
