Copy the API key from the parent request to the ServiceCallout policy

[vinod87]

Hello,

I have chained to 2 proxies using ServiceCallout. The first proxy uses API key validation and the API key is passed in the header variable "x-apikey". Could someone help me on how to send the same API key in the header of the ServiceCallout policy?

The below one is not working:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ServiceCallout continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="Service-Callout-1">
    <DisplayName>Service Callout-1</DisplayName>
    <Properties/>
    <Request clearPayload="true" variable="myRequest">
    <Set>
       <Verb>GET</Verb>
        <Headers>
          <Header name="x-apikey">{request.header.x-apikey}</Header>
        </Headers>
    </Set>
  </Request>
  <Response>calloutResponse</Response>
  <LocalTargetConnection>
  <Path>/XXX/healthcheck</Path>
</LocalTargetConnection>
</ServiceCallout>

Checkout the docs page. You can remove the "clearPayload" flag in the <Request> element or set the apikey in the ServiceCallout request as described in the docs.

Thanks

Hi,

I cleared out the "clearPayload" flag from the policy but still getting the below error:

Execution of ServiceCallout Service-Callout-1 failed. Reason: ResponseCode 401 is treated as error

Update ServiceCallout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ServiceCallout continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="Service-Callout-1">
    <DisplayName>Service Callout-1</DisplayName>
    <Properties/>
    <Request variable="myRequest">
    <Set>
       <Verb>GET</Verb>
    </Set>
  </Request>
  <Response>calloutResponse</Response>
  <LocalTargetConnection>
  <Path>/XXX/healthcheck</Path>
</LocalTargetConnection>
</ServiceCallout>

Sorry I misunderstood your question. The "clearPayload" flag is to control the Request object post ServiceCallout invocation. 

I did the same policy defn, as you have mentioned, its working for me. Can you share what error you are getting when executing this proxy?
