I’m using Bubble’s backend workflow to GET a Woocommerce order, and POST the results in our Administration platform. The API connections are working, we already use it to copy the customer data.

Now I want to POST the ordered items as well. But this is an **unkown number of different items**. (some customers order 1 item, some order 4 different items).

**- How do I place this as dynamic data in a API POST call?**

This is a POST example for 2 items:

```
<OrderLines>

  <OrderLineApiEntity>
       <ArticleCode>67205</ArticleCode>
       <Quantity>2.0000</Quantity>
  </OrderLineApiEntity>

  <OrderLineApiEntity>
       <ArticleCode>1226009</ArticleCode>
       <Quantity>2.0000</Quantity>
  </OrderLineApiEntity>

</OrderLines>
```

You can make the param dynamic just call it

Then take the list of things and convert it to a json object with a plug-in or JS and pass it through.

Take a look here. You can create JSON object by formatting lists as text
