Sending POST parameters with Postman doesn t work but sending GET parameters does

Question

I m trying to test a simple PHP page using the Chrome extension Postman  When I send URL parameters  the script works fine  eg the variables are available in the   REQUEST parameter   When I send them as x-www-form-urlencoded parameters  the   REQUEST parameter only contains the PHPSESSID   The script    lt  php var export   REQUEST     gt    When I send URL parameters    REQUEST includes them    But when I send them as POST variables    REQUEST doesn t include them    What am I missing

Simply use the Body Tab and enter the post parameters there  Note that Body Tab is disabled if Get is selected

When you send parameters by x-www-form-urlencoded then you need to set header for the request as using Content-Type as application x-www-form-urlencoded

Check your content-type in the header  I was having issue with this sending raw JSON and my content-type as application json in the POSTMAN header   my php was seeing jack all in the request post  It wasn t until i change the content-type to  application x-www-form-urlencoded with the JSON in the RAW textarea and its type as JSON  did my PHP app start to see the post data  not what i expected when deal with raw json but its now working for what i need

I was setting the url in Postman to be http    but Apache was redirecting to https    and somehow the POST variables were being dropped along the way   After I changed it to https     the POST variables worked properly   See also  https   stackoverflow com a 28461500 704803

I was also facing this issue and I just add www in url like - https   www your-domain com

For me  the server was expect HTTPS requests  but I didn t specify that in the URL  The hook would reach the server  but the body would be empty

Instead of using raw JSON body  try using form-data

I was having the same problem  To fix it I added the following headers   Content-Type  application json   I had to manually add the content type even though I also had the type of  json  in the raw post field parameters

Sorry if this is thread Necromancy  but this is still relevant today  especially with how much APIs are used   An issue I had was  I didn t know that under the  Key  column you need to put   Content-Type    I thought this was a User Key for when it came back in the request  which it isn t    So something as simple as that may help you  I think Postman could word that column better  because I didn t even have to read the Documentation when it came to using Fiddler  whereas I did with Postman

I faced the same issue in PostMan and Advance REST Client both  I checked through fiddler and found that my request payload is not converted into JSON format   I am passing my data in Body as x-www-form-urlencoded   You can fix it by using Content-Type as application x-www-form-urlencoded in request header
