Re: POST Request with JSON Body - Expression Error

appsec · ‎02-16-2023

Hi everyone,

There are several posts with the same issue I am having, but none of the proposed solutions are working for me.

I am doing something wrong with how I construct the body into a record - which is why I am getting the expression error: We cannot convert a value of type Record to type Number.

I have tried constructing my body directly into a record, and then using Json.FromValue(body), but that doesn't work either.

I have included my code snippets for trying Json.FromValue(body) as well as Text.ToBinary(body)

I am using the the snyk api and this specific endpoint:

Any help would be awesome!!

let
    url = "https://api.snyk.io/api/v1/reporting/issues/latest?page=1&perPage=100&sortBy=issueTitle&order=asc&groupBy=issue",
    body = "
            {
            ""filters"":{
                ""orgs"": [""d6dsfdk-df4d-4dd4-add9-fcfoobar5dac7acb""]
                        }
            }
    ",
    Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url),[
        Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/json",#"Authorization"="token foobar-foobar-foobar-foobar-foobar"],
        Content = Text.ToBinary(body)
