Using the Post method

Use the Post method actions from the REST Web Service package to create new resources in the URI.

This example uses endpoints from the Swagger Petstore sample API (Petstore) to demonstrate using Post method action to add data to the Petstore database.

过程

1. Log in to your instance of the Control Room.
2. On the left panel, click Automation.

Use the Post method action to add a new pet to the store.
1. Double-click or drag the REST Web Services > Post method action.
2. Enter the following URI:
```
https://petstore.swagger.io/v2/store/order
```
3. Under Authentication Mode drop-down, select No Authentication as this endpoint does not require authentication.
  
  注： Typically endpoint requires authentication to ensure that only authorized applications are able to access the data. Select an appropriate authentication mechanism to allow access to the endpoint you want to access.
4. Copy and paste the following into the Custom parameters field, replacing the text in the angle brackets with the value that you copied from the file:
```
{
  "id": 0,
  "petId": 0,
  "quantity": 0,
  "shipDate": "2022-04-20T22:08:11.977Z",
  "status": "placed",
  "complete": true
}
```
5. Create the variable Output in the Assign the output to a variable field. For more information on creating a variable, see Create a variable.
Insert a Message box action to see the response body.

2. In the Enter the message to display field, enter $Output{Body}$ .
Click Save and then click Run.
The bot displays the response in the message box.
