How to make an HTTP request from SSIS? (3 answers)

Closed 5 years ago.

I have a simple ASP.Net Web API set up that triggers a process. I would like to call this API from SSIS. I am able to call a web service but am not sure how to call an API link since there is no WSDL.

Is there a way to do this without having to use AxtiveX scripting?

Answer 1

I haven't tried this before, but you could create a Script Task and use WebClient Class by referencing System.Web. If you take a look at Calling Web Api service from a .NET 2.0 client, you should be able to amend this to call your Web API.

This is a stab in the dark, and I might get downvoted, but it might be a starting point.

EDIT: I did some more digging around, and found a similar question here, it's not calling a Web API, but it is making a HTP Request etc How to make an HTTP request from SSIS?

Answer 2

Another stab in the dark here, since I haven't tried this either...
