Instructions
A. Make Sample API Calls from a Workflow
| 1 | Add a Call API operation that will retrieve the
This operation will get the details of all users in the platform. |  |
| 2 | Add a Script operation to print the response headers, with the following Python script: responseHeaders = parameters.getJsonObject("{call_api_response_headers}")
print("\n")
print("Response headers:")
for key in responseHeaders:
print(" "+key+": "+str(responseHeaders[key]))This step is not strictly required, and only provides an example for retrieving the response headers, if needed for your usecase. |  |
| 3 | Add another Script operation that will parse the response as a JSON object and prints the results, with the following Python script: responseBody = parameters.getJsonObject("{call_api_response_body}")
print("\n")
print("Response body:")
for dataRecord in responseBody["data"]:
print("===")
for recordProperty in dataRecord:
print(" "+recordProperty+": "+str(dataRecord[recordProperty]))

| 4 | Sample full Workflow. | 
|
| 5 | Test the Workflow. |
|
| 6 | If receiving an error with the message IOException: Certificate fingerprint, copy the certificate fingerprint and set it in all Call API operations to accept the untrusted certificate. |
|
| 7 | If receiving an error with the message HTTP/401 Unauthorized, the API requires authentication. Change the Authentication type setting to the appropriate value. |
|
| 8 | If receiving an error with the message HTTP/404 Not Found, verify the URL and the Verb. |
