- 2.Read file contents from a designated storage path
- 3.Send the retrieved data via HTTP request to the target API endpoint
Use cases
- Push file data to third-party APIs automatically without manual intervention
- Process and forward CSV or JSON files to external databases
- Update remote servers programmatically with local file information
Requirements
- Read access permissions for files on your system
- Valid API endpoint URL for the receiving service
- Data format compatibility between source file and destination API
Service Value
