Response header when using post on api connector

Need help APIs
1

Hey, i’m sure this is so simple but I cant figure out how to do it and cant find the info here.

I’m making a call to an API, its a POST, Data type is TEXT and the use as ACTION

My question is, (this is my first API call), when I do the Action and POST the information to the externatl database I need to read a return header as it has a UUID I need for future modification to this external object.

I cant figure out how to read it and assign it to a thing, there is no option in the API CALL section.

I thought maybe in the workflow I could use “Result of step 1” but although I can use result of step 1 it doesnt have an option which header I want use

Any help appreciated

Hey there, glad you figured it out! Can you share your solution so other folks can search and find it later? Thanks!

So basically I had the data type set to text rather than JSON.
Once I set it to JSON it allowed me to refer to “Thing in step 1”

Saying that I am getting an error
"Unable to Parseing data from APICONNECTOR2:

so I am no further down the line, this error only happens when I have it set to JSON

I use https://www.hurl.it/ to test API calls, it’s very useful.

It’s strange as when I initialise the api call in plugin settings everything is fine it’s only when I launch the call with the dataset set to json.
Other calls from the same api work fine and return data as does the same call set to text.
