Hi, I have a form data which needs to be converted to a json file.and send this file to the POST API. how can i create the json file from the form data and send it with the API?
You can definately use arbitrary text. If you have a list of JSON objects or require nesting, you will want to use the “format as text” function on your list.
You can build a full JSON structure out with those two functions.

Thank you for your response. Entering the json values in the arbitary text makes a lot of sense. but then how do i make it send like a json file to the API.
I am attaching a screenshot here. Pls advise.
@adam30 @ilanmichalby pls advise.
does it have to be as a .json file? Or just as a JSON body?
Do you have a link to the API documentation?
Hi, it has to be .json file. The API takes it in multipart format since there are a lot of fields in the form.
Here is the API:
curl --location ‘/school-admin/school/create’
–header 'Authorization:
–form ‘school_details=@“/Users/atullakhotia/Downloads/create_school.json”’
–form ‘school_image=@“/path/to/file”’
Okay if you need a .json file, you will need to use a plugin to convert your arbitary text to an actual .json file
you could try: Download, Save and Create File Plugin | Bubble
When you create the filename, use the extension “yourfilename”.json to make sure it saves as a .json file
Let me know if that helps

Hi @adam30 : thanks for your response. I tried installing this plugin but could not access the plugin. also, i could not find any information on the support page also
I can access the demo page at: Bubble-essential-plugins | Bubble Editor
If you are still having trouble, I can create a video on it in the next few days if that is helpful
@adam30 : i was able to use the plugin and create a json file, save it to bubble database and link it to the API. Now trying to see if it works. will keep you posted.
Thank you so much.
