So, I have an HTTP PUT request that I need to run on a large amount of data. (50,000+ cells)
All of this is contained in two rows, and about 25,000 columns. First row is the HTTP URL to PUT to, the second is data that will be part of a larger string as the request.
Assuming the first two columns of my sheet are as follows, where the cells are separated via comma
Location1, Sample Data 1
Location2, Sample Data 2
I will be sending a PUT request to domain.com/API/Location1 containing the string "data=Sample Data 1" where "domain.com/API/" Is a constant and "data=" is also a constant.
Not knowing enough about excel, I just created a button to call my code. I am still figuring out how to insert cell data into this code.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
URL = "https://domain.com/api/Location1"
DATA = "here_is_a_long_string_specifying_the_value_to_modify=Sample Data 1"
Set HTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
HTTP.Open "PUT", URL, False
HTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
HTTP.send REQUEST
End Sub
Ultimately I would like it to do something like URL = ""(1,x)
Then proceed through the list so (1,1) then 1,2 and 1,3, etc..
I am unsure where to direct my searches at this point
So, I got my script working
x=0
While x < 25000
x = (x + 1)
URL = "https://domain.com/api/" Sheet1.Cells(x, 1)
DATA = "string_of_data=" Sheet1.Cells(x, 1)
set HTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
HTTP.Open "PUT", URL, False, "Login", "Password"
HTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
HTTP.send DATA
