Send a POST request instead of Default GET

[#1]

Hi,

I am looking to send a POST request in Apigee instead of the default GET.

I have used AssignMessage policy to set the <Verb> to POST. Is this the only way to achieve this or are there any cleaner means to achieve this?

Dear @apigee1234567 ,

You can make a POST request by setting a flow with Verb Post. See attached screenshots.

Clic on + icon next to default in Proxy EndPoints.

OR

Just change the Verb from GET to POST in flow condition.

    <Flows>
        <Flow name="hello">
            <Condition>(proxy.pathsuffix MatchesPath "/hello") and (request.verb = "POST")</Condition>
            <Description/>
            <Request/>
            <Response/>
        </Flow>
    </Flows>

Cheers,

Hello @Anil Sagar

Thanks for the prompt reply. But adding a flow variable means changing the URL to include /hello at the end in the case described above.

If I do not want to change the URL and still send POST, is there a better way than using AssignMessage policy??

Dear @apigee1234567 ,

It's just an example. You can have same path to both GET & POST. Change the path to / to hit default end point.
