Unsupported Media Type : POSTMAN

[Akhilesh9025]

Hi,

I am trying to upload a ".csv" file into Anaplan using Postman. Below is the API used.

PUT https://api.anaplan.com/2/0/workspaces/((workspace_id}}/models/{{model_id}}/files/{{file_id}}

But it is throwing an error of "Unsupported Media Type". Below images(also uploaded) are the configurations used.

Can someone help me in fixing this issue?

Thanks,

Akhilesh

Set the body as "raw" rather than "form-data", and then copy the contents of your file into the body.

@kevin.cho

I am able to run it using "raw" but wanted to test how the API works for uploading a file so that later I can use CURL commands to automate it

Figured out how to do it in Postman. Set it to "binary" rather than "form-data" and select your file there. 

The cURL command for this is: 

--data-b "@<path_to_file>" 

e.g

--data-b "@/mypath/myfilename" 

I've confirmed this works - copy out the cURL code you get from Postman for your "raw" type, and then replace the --data-raw component with the snip above.

Thank You @kevin.cho.

Please also let me know if you find a solution in POSTMAN

Hey @Akhilesh9025 , I did and updated my reply.

Select the "binary" option and select your file there.
