using this node shown below:
I want to pass the url using the msg.payload to this node as we do with http request node but in this url is not acceptable via function node or change node.
Any one can suggest the suitable way please
Does that node have built in help on the sidebar?
What does it say?
By the looks of whatever that node is (you didnt provide a link to it in the flows library so I cant check it out) - but it looks to be a fork of the official HTTP Request node so I assume it uses mustache syntax in the UTL too - have you tried entering {{{msg.url}}} or {{{url}}} or {{{payload}}}?
Hi Steve thanks for replying ok let me try with the way you said. this node is used for multipart form data to get form based api to work
this the link I get the node

I want to fill the values in formdata using change node
tried this it is not working please check whether there is any bug in node
Looking at the nodes src code, it does not support dynamic URL - only fixed as entered on the form...
You have choices...
- use the built in http request node.
- raise an issue on the git repository & wait for this to be implemented.
built in http request node is not working for the required form based api call if there is way please tell
API Previewer
- All requests must be https POST
- All requests must use the body in the POST
- All requests must use the form-data option
- For JSON responses include in the header Accept: application/json
this is mandatory for api call and I tried with builtin http request but didnt work so i searched this node
can we work on source code to get dynamic URL also other things are not dynamic in this node
Short Version...
The HTTP Request node can do this.
Long Version...
Why did it not work?
What problems did you encounter?
Did you open a thread on the forum about your problem with HTTP Request node?
HTTP Request node can do this
HTTP Request node can do this
HTTP Request node can do this (set header multipart/form-data)
Fine!
HTTP Request node can do this (set appropriate header)
So use change node AFTER http request to check the status code & act accordingly.
ok I am trying again. How to pass form data fields as we do in http send multipart node
Built in help is your friend...
And so are the forum & google...
Here is a working demo...
This is the endpoint simulating a RESTful API (for demo purposes)
Here is proof the endpoint works with an external client
Here is the flow (import using `CTRL-I)...

s
thanks let me try this i will update
can we use change node instead of inject node as url to be varied
form data is filling it is working but same issue of making it dynamic
I have two workflows and need to merge in one
one workflow gives the uploading file urls
other workflow will give new url for redirect
both will merge and make a file to be uploaded at end point
when apikey and workflowid is given the new url is generated
this new url is needed to give another http request with file url
after this the file gets uploaded it is mandatory as it is two step process so need two requests also
