Create a Document REST API using Node JS

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

I am trying to add a document by invoking a REST call to OTCS (16.2.11) in Node JS (axios module). I was able to make a connection to the OTCS server and receive a valid token and also able to create a folder. But I am not able to upload a new document, I am reading the file from local disk memory as a stream.

If anyone has done this in Node JS using the Axios module, please share some sample code or guidance.

Regards,

Nilotpal Saha

hi @Neel1510

we all use Postman to send the Request and look in its code generator .I saw 3 options for NodeJS in my Postman .I don't know what Axios module is.

some starter code is available in my blog https://appukili.wordpress.com/2022/04/17/take-some-rest/ not axios unfortunately.

Hi Nilotpal,

The key for you is to use a Multipart Form object.

You'll need to ensure you include the required fields in your form for creating a Document subtype.

Hopefully that helps you out.
