  • 1.  Need to Convert String to application/json

    Posted Sat April 29, 2023 06:46 AM

    Hello Team,

    We have received response from Endpoint URL in String format, but the content-type of Response is "application/json", we need to fetch that value and convert it into proper JSON format (ie in Parameter name, value) format.
    We have tried to change Content-type of response and convert it, but its shows blank json response (ie {}).
    Please help how to convert it into API Connect (V10, V5).
    Please find below example for same.

    Received Response:
    abcdefg

    Require response:
    {"response":"abcdefg)

    Thanks and Regards,
    Jyoti

    You can convert from the text response to a json response using a Map policy.  Just invoke the service that returns the application/text reponse and then use a Map policy like this one:

                    - map:
                        version: 2.0.0
                        title: map
                        inputs:
                          message.body:
                            schema:
                              type: string
                            variable: message.body
                            content: text/plain
                        outputs:
                          message.body:
                            schema:
                              type: object
                              properties:
                                response:
                                  type: string
                                  name: response
                            variable: message.body
                            content: application/json
                        actions:
                          - set: message\.body.response
                            from: message\.body


    Produces a response of:

    {"response":"this is a text response string."}

    const finalResponse = { "response": apim.getvariable('message.body')};

    apim.setvariable('message.body', finalResponse);
