Download - Compose Query String/Body

I'm having trouble using the 'Compose Query String/Body' in the Download tool. If I type the string into the Download tool - it works:

If I reference the same values from a field - it doesn't work:

Eventually I will include the fields "pageSize" and "pageNumber" so the tool can download several pages. 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

you have to construct the whole string including {}.  You can add dynamic elements with concatenation.

Here is a better example:

I have a separate API download which functions using the Compose Query String/Body - it does not require {} in the field or field values, only that they be formatted as string.

I just can't figure out why it works for one API and not another.

Check the documentation for each API.  It should give you the details on how to use it.  That might be why.  Please mark this as the solution if it answered your question.

 

Thanks,
