[google-chrome] Is it possible to send an array with the Postman Chrome extension?

I've been using Postman Chrome extension to test out my API and would like to send an array of IDs via post. Is there a way to send something list this as a parameter in Postman?

{
  user_ids: ["1234", "5678"]
}

Go to Header and select Content-Type = application/json then go to body and select raw and then pass an array.

in headers set

content-type : application/x-www-form-urlencoded

In body select option

x-www-form-urlencoded

and insert data as json array

user_ids : ["1234", "5678"]

Choose either form-data or urlencoded and use the same key "user_ids". The server should receive it as an array.

This also works for lists within the object:

Id:37
IdParent:26
Name:Poplet
Values[0].Id:1349
Values[0].Name:SomeName
Values[1].Id:1350
Values[1].Name:AnotherName

the equivalent JSON would be:

{
    "Id": 37,
    "IdParent": 26,
    "Name": "Poplet",
    "Values": [
        {
            "Id": 1349,
            "Name": "SomeName"
        },
        {
            "Id": 1350,
            "Name": "AnotherName"
        }
    ]
}

{
    "data" : [  
        {
            "key1" : "value1",
            "key2" : "value2"   
        },
        {
            "key01" : "value01",
            "key02" : "value02"             
        },
        {
            "key10" : "value10",
            "key20" : "value20"   
        }
    ]
}

You can pass like this. Hope this will help someone.

I tried all solution here and in other posts, but nothing helped.

The only answer helped me:
Adding [FromBody] attribute before decleration of parameter in function signature:

[Route("MyFunc")]        
public string MyFunc([FromBody] string[] obj)

Set Body as raw and form the array as follows:

If you want an array of dicts, try this:

As mentioned by @pinouchon you can pass it with the help of array index

my_array[0] value
my_array[1] value

In addition to this, to pass list of hashes, you can follow something like:

my_array[0][key1] value1

my_array[0][key2] value2

Example:

To pass param1=[{name:test_name, value:test_value}, {...}]

param1[0][name] test_name

param1[0][value] test_value

In form-data,

   key              value

 user_ids[]         1234
 user_ids[]         5678

Here is my solution:

use form-data and edit as below:

Key       Value 
box[]      a
box[n1]    b
box[n2][]  c
box[n2][]  d

and you will get an array like this:

{"box":{"0":"a","n1":"b","n2":["c","d"]}}

this worked for me. to pass an array of Item object {ItemID,ColorID,SizeID,Quntity}

I also had that problem, and solved it by doing the following:

1 - Going to the request header configuration and added the following:

Accept : application/json, text/plain, */*
Content-Type : application/json;charset=UTF-8

2 - To send the json array, I went to raw json format and set the user_ids to array:

user_ids: ["bbbbbbbbbb","aaaaaaaaaa","987654321","123456789"]

It is important to know, that the VALUE box is only allowed to contain a numeral value (no specifiers).

If you want to send e.g. an array of "messages" with Postman, each having a list of key/value pairs, enter e.g. messages[][reason] into the KEY box and the value of reason into the VALUE box:

The server will receive:

{"messages"=>[{"reason"=>"scrolled", "tabid"=>"2"}, {"reason"=>"reload", "tabid"=>"1"}], "endpoint"=>{}}

For me did not work with array[0], array1, .. or array[], array[], ... . It works more simply:
