Writing cURL Statement with Download Tool

[chineeloh]

Hi API Experts!

I have an urgent question: does anyone know how to convert the following sample cURL Request Statement into something that can be reusable with the Download Tool?

curl -v -X GET "https://dapi.kakao.com/v2/local/search/address.json" \ --data-urlencode "query=전북 삼성동 100" \ -H "Authorization: KakaoAK kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk"

I'm trying to use Kakao Map API to perform geocoding of Korean addresses (for more details on their API Doc, please see here: https://developers.kakao.com/docs/latest/ko/local/dev-guide)

I would like to eventually create a macro whereby a user can simply upload their Korean "address search", and the API can convert them into Lat/Long coordinates. Could this be done?

Thank you!

Best,

Chin Ee

Hi,

I have attached a sample reproducing the cURL command.

The URL needs to be a field. This can be added using a Formula tool.

To add the Authorization header within the Download tool go to the Headers tab. I added it as a constant but if developing as a reusable macro I would take it from a field allowing the end-user of the macro to enter it

Finally to add the query, go to the Payload tab and then you can set it to read it from a field. The field must be named query as that is the required API format.

Hopefully enough to get you started

Thank you @jdunkerley79  !!! The workflow works perfectly as intended! 

This will be very useful for many Korean customers.

Best,
