Request Body tab

This tab contains the properties of the request body parameter. If the selected operation does not have a request body, the controls on this tab are disabled.

These are the two main types of request formats used by APIs:

• Object: Request body can contain one object such as JSON or XML. You can manually define a request body.
• Multipart: Request body application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data is defined using form-data parameters. You can define constant value for individual parameters.

Format

Here you can select the request format of the request body. An asterisk indicates whether it is required to define a request body parameter. If not required, you can select None request format and no request body is sent. A list of available request formats is defined by these criteria:

• The type of the selected input document.
• Request content types that are available in API.
