How to create a POST API (ReST) on a Robot platform using

I need to replicate the following API call in Robot Framework:

curl -X POST "http://xyz/api/createApp" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d @/tmp/testfile.json

testfile.json has a json payload. I cannot send the contents of a Json file as a body.

I have imported HTTP libraries. But I do not see any keyword for calling the API with the file.

http://bulkan.imtqy.com/robotframework-requests/#Post has a file parameter. And what you can do is use the Get File keyword from the operating system library and pass that Post keyword.

Bulkan robotframework requests are good. But if you can get by less, you can make your own local lib / posthttp.py in a few lines like this:

 import requests import json def do_requests_post( url=None, data=None, headers={"Content-Type":"application/json"}): return requests.post( url, data=data, headers=json.loads(headers) ) def do_requests_request( method="GET" url=None, data=None, headers={}): return requests.request( url, method=method, data=data, headers=json.loads(headers))

Note that the returned object is a rich and powerful “response” that has member functions such as .json() (which returns a dict if .text treated as JSON) and .status_code (int).

It works great when using double backslashes and quotes like:

curl -i -H 'Accept: application / json' -H 'Content-Type: application / json' -X POST -d "{\" target \ ": \" 5142221345 \ ", \" source \ ": \" 432567890 \ ", \" messages \ ": [{\" format \ ": \" AMR \ ", \" data \ ": \" binarydata ... \ "}]}" http://10.4.4.11: 8089 / v1 / voice / add
