Hello All,

I want to get data in PLSQL procedure through an external API POST method can anyone help plz i have read many blogs and searched google also but still no help

and Connor said...

POST is for *sending* data to an external source. Are you sure you do not mean GET ?

The APEX_WEB_SERVICE package (which comes with APEX) makes this a lot easier.

Tim has a nice simple example of that here

If you want to do it the "long" way using UTL_HTTP, check out this link
