    Does anyone have an example of a WebRun node to NEOGOV?  Their setup is REST API.  Content type is json. I'm trying to post department data to NEOGOV and not sure what info I need to include in the header box of the webrun node.   

    I'm fairlly new at this, So far I have them as individual line.  Not sure if they are correct.

    =========================== 
    POST /request HTTP/1.1 
    Host: https://api.uat.neogov.org/rest/departments
    Accept: application/json
    Content-Type: application/json
    Authorization: User1  bW7jcHBjYXBpOk1EEjBwcGGkMjA=
    ===========================

    Thank you.

      Hi Lan,
      Yes, we interface Departments, Divisions, Class Specifications, Positions, and Employees to NEOGOV. We do this via a WebRun node. Here is the Header information I've set in our call:

      Authorization:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      Cache-Control:private
      Http-accept:application/json
      Host: - Note: This is variable I pass in depending on TEST or PROD
      Accept:*/*
      Accept-Encoding:gzip, deflate
      Connection:keep-alive

      I also set the Content Type as application/json which is an option in the drop down but override those by just typing it in.

        Thanks Chad. I added the header info and now I'm getting 'HTTP response code 400'.

        "name":"ACCOUNTING-API",
        "status ":"Active"
        }
        }

          Your json doesn't look correct. It should be:

          {
          "code":"ACCNT-API",
          "name":"ACCOUNTING-API",
          "status":"Active"
          }

            Thanks Chad. Json is good now but still get error #400. I don't have 'HTTP/1.1' anywhere in my header. Don't know if I need to and where should it be and what the syntax look like.
