API calling from APEX application using web source component.

Rashmi6490-OracleJun 4 2020 — edited Jun 5 2020

I am trying to call a third party API from APEX application.

First, I try to create a web source module.
1. Create it from scratch.

2.web source type : simple HTTP

3.Name : Name the application.
4.URL endpoint: specify the URL

5.In the next step, the values are auto populated from previous step.So I click on Next.

6.then I click on discover.
It throws the following error:

Discovery error: Application Express cannot compute a data profile from the response data of type: text/html; charset=UTF-8.

I am trying to make POST call to an third party API.
I am not sure, where I am supposed to include the content type and request header in the web source component.
Tried including in the advace option provided next to Discover.
Didnt work.

Please help on this.
