API and special characters

After a couple of rounds of trying to “PUT” records into the Stock Item that have the # symbol I’m beginning to think the API framework doesn’t accept special characters. Can someone confirm this? 

I’m using Power Automate Desktop to invoke the web service and insert stock items. I’ve tried the Replace Text action  (replace # with %%23 also replace # with \#), none of which work. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi, can you share a bit information on about the API call?

 

 

@jamest, Are you trying to using special character in the key field(like InventoryID)? Please share the steps to reproduce the issue/behavior. Thanks, 

Ok, @yhartman ‘s post game me an idea. There are two api calls. The first one is to see if the stock item exists based off the description. I had to use “%%23” in the variable for that to work. 

For the second call (PUT if the item doesn’t exist), I was able to use the “#”. It looks like I’m ok now. Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your solution with the community @jamest!
