API REST
I have to call an API to receive a token allowing a second request.
This is the command :
curl --location --request POST 'https://url-of-api' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \ --data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials' \ --data-urlencode 'client_id=aaaaaaa' \ --data-urlencode 'client_secret=bbbbb'
How can I give "data-urlencode" to API ?
Second API has another URL with JSON parameter :
{
"policyId": "QUALIFIED",
"fileName": "test.pdf",
"fileData": "string=="
}

@JeanChristopheD17042937For this, you would use the REST Component. We have an example of this in the installation folder (under Extra Resources\Sample automation projects). There's a project there called StarWarsAPI that shows how you can use the REST Client. In this case, you'd need to make that first call to get the token and then store it in a string and pass it with each new request. There is a SetBearerAuthentication method that accepts a token, although you may also have to define it as an input parameter. Take a look at the sample project to start. If you know of a similar public API to yours, I can create an example from that.

Get your token first
$ curl --request POST -k --url https://sso.qua.s.curia.europa.eu/auth/realms/API/protocol/openid-connect/token --header 'Authorization: Basic client_id:client_secret_whole_string_base64_encoded' --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data grant_type=client_credentials
Call the API
$ curl --request GET -k --url https://api-qa.ad.curia.europa.eu/api/people/q/health --header 'Authorization: Bearer your_token'
I can not see the mentionned folder for example.

@JeanChristopheD17042937 I am not able to reach this URL, but if you have a public one, I can assist. Were you able to look at the sample project?
