Postman throws bad request while sending JSON as request parameter in Rest Api

Question

Sending json as request parameter in Rest api from Postman throws Bad Request Exception.

I encountered this while testing a legacy system. Sending json in a request param is not a good idea unless you cannot avoid it like in my case.

So, what is the correct way of sending json as request param from Postman?

Answer 1

You need to select the json param and select Encode URI Component before sending the request.
