I need to replicate the below 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 content of Json file as body.
I have imported the HTTP libraries. But do not see any key-word to make an API call with file.
Bulkan's robotframework-requests is nice. But if you can get by with less, you can do 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 return object is the rich-and-powerful "Response" which has member functions like .json() (which returns a dict if the .text is sensed to be JSON) and .status_code (int).
http://bulkan.github.io/robotframework-requests/#Post has files parameter. And what you could do is use Get File keyword from OperatingSystem library and pass that to your Post keyword.
It perfectly works 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
