Upload blob

Hello!

I'm trying to upload a csv file via the download tool. I've got my data all good to go and in a blob, but when it comes to uploading it, it keeps failing.

I can upload it fine using a file on my desktop and Postman, here's the code for what works there:

I'd really prefer to find a solution that doesn't involved saving a file anywhere and just keeping the data in the workflow as there is sensitive data involved.

Here's how my download tool is set up:

When I run this, it looks like it uploaded ok, but when I check the status, it says it's failed.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @macinjosh1 ,

I'm not sure why you're using a blob, but you can download to a specific file location in the download tool, then simply load in the file you downloaded:

you can create the filepath in a formula tool and simply download it there. Then wrap an input tool in a macro, feed this field into the macro andset this as the input path.

EDIT: Hang on...I misread this. You want to UPLOAD?

Hi @macinjosh1

What response are you getting back in the DownloadHeaders field?

So interesting question, the initial response I get is this:

But I have a check status in an iterative macro after that times out. When I use Postman to check on it, this is the response I get:

Any one have any ideas?

@macinjosh1Did you ever get this to work? Also I'm an idiot when it comes to these kind of things - but you have content-type configured to text. Don't you need to change this if you are trying to upload a blob? like content-type=application/octet-stream or whatever the api needs?

No I didn't. I ended up saving it on a secured NAS drive, and running CURL to upload it.

I've since become more savvy at uploading json formats into Qualtrics, so I might swing back and revisit this at a later time, but it works for now.

Thanks for the update - if you do circle back please let me know. I think I have some potential blob/api POCs coming up - so if I get it to work I'll let you know too... I do find that spelling out the content-type for the download tool is totally key (like Json or whatever). Post tends to more dynamically set content.
