[former_member690694]

Dear Team,

I need to post method call response in json format i have tried below format like get call but it's not supporting for post method call for any c4c odata api like Contactcollection. Could you please guide me how to get it. By defalut it's giving XML response successful but in same way we need in json format.

Thanks it's working fine now. I have added Accept manually then it's working fine.

Hi,

For post-call, pls pass a header parameter "Content-Type" as "application/json"(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Type) and then the system will accept JSON input payload. Similarly, if you also want to get response back in JSON then also pass another header "Accept" as "application/json" (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Content_negotiation/List_of_default_Accept_values).

try adding "Accept" header with "application/json" as its value...This will return the response in JSON
