Running a download api and getting chunk data - how to handle that?

Hi,

I run an API which in turn delivers a download API URL with an ID code at the end:

https://api.{environment}/api/v2/downloads/{ 8 digit alpha-numeric code }

Running the above downloads API URL in Postman delivers comma delimited headers and data. When I try to run this in Alteryx and deliver it to a document, I receive an error message about 'chunk' data and DownloadHeaders has "HTTP/1.1 303 See OtherTransfer-Encoding: chunkedConnection: ...".

How would I guide this output to a .csv on my computer?

Hi Brandon

I got the download to work in Alteryx, but, the delivery is not all there, and the column headers do not align with their respective column data. I'm going to go ahead and close this thread and see if I can get a neat, clean delivery of the data in Alteryx. I may post another thread if I cannot clean up the data.

Thank you,

Chris

Have you clicked the "Code" button in Postman to see the cURL equivalent code? There may be additional requirements in what the API is executing. Checking this code will help you confirm if you have all of the appropriate elements configured in the download tool.
