In Power Automate, I am using an HTTP activity with the following parameters:
Method: POST
Uri: Example.com
Body:
{
"Username":"MyName",
"Password":"#mycode",
"PrivateKey":"1234"
}
This request works fine in Postman, but in Power Automate, it returns an error which says The power flow's logic app flow template was invalid. Unable to parse template language expression 'mycode': expected token 'LeftParenthesis' and actual 'EndOfData'. Which seems to me like it's unable to read the "#" sign because the password is supposed to be #mycode, not mycode
Is there an escape character I can use for this? Unfortunately I'm not able to change the password.
In Power Automate, special characters are always escpaed if you write them twice.
In your case it would look like this: "##mycode"
You can initialise a variable and store your data in it later pass in "send http action".

Now I tried to make like a translator through Roblox Studio using Https service by sending a request to the translate.google.com link the thing is that anything I get in return does not give me the translated text.
I put what I received in a google doc and tried to find it by pressing ctrl + f to try to find it but no luck the only thing I could find is that text that was supposed to be translated. Here is the code in case you want to try it for yourself but I do warn you that running this might make Roblox unresponsive for a while since it is a lot of info they gave back.
I don't know if I am doing something wrong or not someone please help! I just want it to give me what 'Hello world' would be in french, there are also no error messages.
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
local Message = "Hello world"
http:UrlEncode(Message) -- 'Hello world' -> 'Hello%20world'
local response = http:RequestAsync(
{
Url = "https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=fr&text=" .. Message .. "!&op=translate";
Method = "GET"
}
)
if response.Success then
print(response.StatusMessage)
print(response.StatusCode)
print(response.Body)
--print(response.Headers)
else
print("The request failed: ", response.StatusCode, response.StatusMessage)
end
When visiting on your browser (for example) the url https://translate.google.com/?sl=en&tl=fr&text=Hello%20World!&op=translate, the translation you see is fetched using Javascript code executed by the browser after loading the page.
The browser retrieves the html body of the page (like you did in your code) and then executes the javascript in the html body which retrieves the translation and updates the page.
Unless you use a browser driver like Selenium I don't see how you can do what you want in a simple way.
Plus, I'm sure that Google has some protection against automatic bots, so after too many request your program will probably will be blocked by ReCaptcha.
The correct way to translate the text is to use the Google Cloud Translate API which I think is free up to 500k requests per month. There is also Azure Translator from Microsoft which also has a free tier.
Your issue is likely in how you are URL Encoding the string.
http:UrlEncode(Message)
HttpService.UrlEncode returns the encoded string as a new value. It doesn't mutate the existing value. So you just need to store the result of the function call.
Message = http:UrlEncode(Message)
EDIT : Just as #Mohamed AMAZIRH pointed out, hitting this URL will only return HTML.
I need to load test one Python api in below URL format:
//IP:PORT/Sub_Part/?where={"KEY1":"VALUE1","KEY2":"VALUE2","KEY3":"VALUE3"}
I tried to pass the key value pair through csv as well as directly in http request but getting error message.
java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in query at index 47:
http://IP:PORT/Sub_Part/?where={"KEY1":"VALUE1","KEY2":"VALUE2","KEY3":"VALUE3"}
Here key and value are dummy data I have placed here for easy understanding.
Please help me with correct syntax for this URL.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
In REST APIs, JSON objects are typically sent (POST) or returned in the body of the request. They are not typically encoded as part of the URL.
For a GET request, you can either pass the information as segments in the url or as querystring parameters.
For more details refer here, How to send a GET request with a "/" in the query
As per HTML URL Encoding Reference:
URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set.
so you need to define the request in JMeter's HTTP Request sampler as follows:
Pay attention to URL Encode? checkbox, it has to be ticked otherwise the parameter will be sent "as is"
Another option is using __urlencode() function like:
http://IP:PORT/Sub_Part/?where=${__urlencode({"KEY1":"VALUE1"\,"KEY2":"VALUE2"\,"KEY3":"VALUE3"})}
which will generate an encoded sequence which you could use in the URL path:
%7B%22KEY1%22%3A%22VALUE1%22%2C%22KEY2%22%3A%22VALUE2%22%2C%22KEY3%22%3A%22VALUE3%22%7D
as you can see, all non-ASCII characters where removed.

When I wish to login as "pieraś", the page detects login "pieraĹ"
I tried selecting "URL ENCODE", changing jmeter.property csvdataset.file.encoding_list to "ISO 8859-2" only as well ass UTF-8 only.
JMETER request picture
How to make it work right?
In the HTTP request field "Content Encoding:" manually enter value "ISO-8859-2".
It works against jmeter.property "sampleresult.default.encoding"
I tried to use "pieraś" in jmeter, looks like JMeter is passing and processing this value properly. Some sample snap given below:
I am recording Login in Jmeter. Password has '#'. Jmeter recorded exact string but when i run the same, '#' is converted to '%40ss' and login is getting failed(login is failing even if i pass parameters through csv file). But if we pass parameters through jmeter Body Data, Login is successful. I dont want to pass through Body Data, i want to send parameters through CSV file. How to achieve this. Please find the attachments
Recorded and Response
My expectation is that it is only a matter of representation, i.e. when I run similar request using a sniffer tool like Wireshark I can see # sign as a part of form data.
Most probably your problem lies somewhere else, i.e. you haven't correlated this __RequestVerificationToken or haven't added HTTP Cookie Manager.
When it comes to load testing ASP.NET web applications you cannot just record and replay your test, you need to perform correlation of dynamic parameters, check out ASP.NET Login Testing with JMeter article for more details.
Lakshmikanth, when you are passing any special character in parameters values then JMeter converts that character into percent-encoding for eg. '#' converts to '%40', '!' converts to '%21'.
To overcome this issue you can pass your password as it is [say P#ssword] in the .csv file but in your request you need to uncheck the encode checkbox corresponding to your password parameter.
My script get an authenticity token from first page, then pass it to the second page I got this error when running the test:
{"errors":{"error:":["ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken"]}}
I checked the token variable, apparently the string such as /, = has been encoded into %2F and %3D etc..
On my second page's HTTP request window, I have NOT selected "encoded" for token variable defined in the "Send parameters with the request" section.
Apparently the problem is I did not asked for encoded variable, JMeter just encode it. Is it a known bug or I should do something to decode it or is there a work around on this issue?
Did you pass token in POST data?
I'v faced the same problem and just pass body data as work around, to do it you need:
Select you HTTP sampler
Switch from "Parameter" to "Body Data" tab (you have to delete all parameters to do it)
Write body data (variable substitution works)
Body data example:
username=Some_name&token=AbRaCaDaBrA
NB, if something need to be encoded, you'll have to do it manually.
