Can you give a bit more detail on what you mean by csv files as HTTP Body? Does that mean you are parametizing the post body and reading the value from a csv file? If you create the Object and and send the request manually, do you get a valid response? We will probably need a bit more sample code to see what is happening? ---

To be honest, I haven’t seen it done this way. Normally, the Object is the API payload with parameters such as: ``` > { > [order_id]: ${order_id} > [address]: ${address} > } ``` Then on the variables tab, those variables are defined with their type. Within the code, you read the values from the file, assign them to variables, then pass those as parameters to the Object. The send would look something like: initialize\_order = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject(‘Object’, [(‘order\_id’) : order\_id, (‘address’) : user\_address])) The CSV would hold the values you want to pass. ---

Thank you for looking into this. Our Api only accepts a .csv or .xlsx file types in form-data. I will keep trying and update once I find a solution. Thile has first row as header and each remaining row is all values for that header ---
