How to generate HTTP Request response data in JSON format? - jmeter

How to generate HTTP Request response data in JSON format? I am getting the response data in the HTML format.
In the HTTP Header Manager, I am sending the Content-Type = application/json. In the HTTP request body data I am sending the data in the JSON format.
What are the changes I should make to get the response in the JSON format?
I want to extract some values from the JSON response and use in the script.

Double check your HTTP endpoint specification and requirements. The reasons of getting response can be different, we cannot help without seeing the endpoint details, request and response data.
Among the possible reasons are:
Incorrect HTTP Method used. In this case you can get HTTP 406 response
Invalid URL. In this case you can get HTTP 404 response
Invalid request headers. I.e. missing Content-Type or Accept headers. You can add arbitrary headers using HTTP Header Manager
You're not authorized (missing cookie or token). In this case you can get HTTP 401 or 403 statuses

Post Request getting failed due to webkitformboundary in JMeter

We have a recorded script using Blaze Meter(HTTPS call) and run in JMeter, One POST request getting failed and shows "500 Internal Server error". In Post request, JSON passed in form of "form-Data" as parameter. When endpoint executed we observed Webkitformbounday in HTTP header, Please give some solution for
HTTPs Request
HTTP Header Manager
POST Request Body
enter image description here
It looks like the recording solution you're using isn't very suitable for building proper HTTP POST request, I would suggest the following amendments:
Untick Use multipart/form-data box in the HTTP Request sampler
Remove issueDetail parameter name and put it to the end of "path"
Change Content-Type header value to application/json
Authorization header value might need to be correlated if the token life span is short

POST request with Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded and

My requirement is very simple.
Call POST request with id and password.
Header has Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded
and data is also passed as urlencoded like below
Response is coming in xml format.
I tried a lot of examples from everywhere but nothing seems to be working. It gives me back 401 Unauthorized which is an error that target API throws if request is not in proper format.

Exactly what I needed.
Java HTTP POST request with HttpURLConnection section on the page did the work.

JMeter http request works via fiddler but not without

I have a simple thread group with HTTP requests as below:
Do Login - POST request
grab the authorization bearer token
Get eventId - GET request
This is a simple HTTP GET request like this http://server_ip:8080/rest/v1/events/1234567
Pass the authorization bearer token in HTTP Header Manager
When I run the above, the Login post request goes through fine. I get a 200 OK and the response header ad message looks fine.
But the 'Get eventId' request fails and returns a 400 Bad Request.
However when I start JMeter to go through the proxy like below, the 'Get eventId' request returns a 200 OK and the response looks as expected.
jmeter.bat -H 127.0.0.1 -P 8888
I am not sure what I am doing wrong?
As per 400 Bad Request status code description:
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 400 Bad Request response status code indicates that the server could not understand the request due to invalid syntax.
Most likely you need to add HTTP Header Manager to send Content-Type header with the value of application/json (or whatever MIME type server expects).
If this is not the case - inspect what is being sent in both cases using View Results Tree listener and amend JMeter configuration so requests would look exactly the same (apart from dynamic token)

Unsupported Media type error 145 in Jmeter response

I am new to JMeter, trying to the rest Webservice. I am getting a Json response saying
Response code: 415
Response message: Unsupported Media Type
I have set the HTTP Header Manager
Content-Type application/json
Request:
Protocol HTTP
Use KeepAlive
Follow Reidrects are checked.
This server is up and running since I am getting the proper response using Postman client.
Most probably your request body is not a JSON format.
Maybe you mixed up parameters and body.
Parameter must be in path after "?"
Body must be in Body Data tab

when sending json request to server I am getting forbidden 403

I am learning jmeter.
I am passing json request in Body of http request. I set content-type as application/json. passing cookie value using cookie manager. I am getting response code as 403. how to resolve it??
I have passed all the headers which is caputred in Firebug.. Only the difference is the captured cookie in the firebug has lot of values but when i run the test, the below only is passing (if I use, Cookie Manager) other than that all are same.. No clue why it is returning 403..
Cookie Data:
connect.sid=s%3AFBcljlVYI2p1WyjuxcDgWQKJ.kSrLYIsSy9T%2FEgSB25yUq0T3qTjpqF69GJhyW9GzJpU; TOKEN=ZU3cf9fKGCPJXM6qi7JX6DVv2%2B3Jw8q%2Flnb2A%3D
403 is a "Forbidden" error. Most likely is that something needs to be sent in the body of your http request, like a token, which needs to be extracted from the log in request.
Add Http authorization manager, specify the url along with the crednetials in it. Keep the encoding mechanism to BASIC_DIGEST. Enable log viewer so that you can trace the exact issue
