Generate documents after calling stand alone -/doucments API

🙋 Help

Hello,

I call the documents API endpoint and get a successful response. However I do not see the documents generated anywhere in the response. SoapUI responds with the document as an attachment. I cant seem to figure this out in postman. Please help!

Hi @robin.christison,

It would help to know which specific API you’re talking about. The more details you’ll provide the better we’ll be able to help.

hi @arlem

rob and I work together and basically we’re trying to call one of our internal services and that service responds with a multipart response. the first ‘part’ is XML and then subsequent parts are PDFs (one part per PDF 
 so six parts would mean one XML chunk and then five PDFs). in SOAP UI I think there’s native support and the non-application/xml parts get shown in the ‘Attachments’ tab, but with Postman it just shows the full stream. a minor clip is below (each of the three parts is much larger than I’ve included):

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="XMLDATA"
Content-Type: application/xml;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><a-bunch><of-my><xml-data><would-be-here /></xml-data></of-my></a-bunch>


----------------------171bc52a6c0
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="First.pdf"; filename="First.pdf"
Content-Type: application/pdf

@arlem any thoughts or help with this is greatly appreciated.

@robin.christison Sorry for the late reply. Postman doesn’t have an “attachment” tab, you’d need to save the response to a file using one of the solutions highlighted here: How to save request & response result as a file?

Hope that helps!
