Hi,
I have written an M function that sends a post request to a API. I want to implement some error handling
when sending an incorrect parameter. When I do that the API should return a 403 status code
but for some reason the response that is returned from" Web.Contents()" is of the type "application/octet-stream" with a response that is "null", when it should be a JSON response with a 403 status code.
headers = [#"Content-Type" = "application/json", #"Accept" = "application/json"],
response = Web.Contents(url, [
Headers = headers,
Content = postData
])
In Postman, Python, Curl etc. it works fine and the API returns the expected json package with the 403 error.
This is the meta data which is returned:
I can catch the null response but that is not a nice solution. The proper 403 code should be handled.
Has anybody else experienced this?
Sincerely,
Nicolai
Hey. I have same problem. Do you resolve it? Please let me know if you done it.
Hi @storm-nhaab - you could consider using the Web.Headers - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Learn function to grab the header only. Here a recent Blog about the feature. New Web.Headers M function | Microsoft Power Query
