    Data Types

    1 min read

    #

    The following is a guide to the Data Types available at Request/Response body level, and those available when defining Connector Fields.

    Request/Response Data Types #

    These data types can be set to define the format of the entire request/response.

    Data TypeDescription
    UnknownPasses no Content-Type/Accept Header
    XmlPasses a Content-Type/Accept header of application/xml
    JsonPasses a Content-Type/Accept header of application/json
    FormPasses a Content-Type/Accept header of application/x-www-form-urlencoded
    FileFor uploading a file using multipart/form-data
    PlainTextPasses/returns unformatted text
    SimpleFileFor uploading and downloading files from the body
    MultipartRelated(Supported for use in Request Only)
    CSVUse when working with CSV content.
    Cyclr will operate on the original CSV content, rather than converting it into a JSON equivalent.

    Field formats #

    These data types can be set to define the format of the individual fields in the request/response.

    Data TypeDescriptionExample Values
    TextValue is a string.abc
    BooleanUsed for true or false values.true
    DateTimeValues contain dates and perhaps time parts.
    Use a Field’s Format property to specify how the value should be formatted.
    2022-04-17T01:34:40.24Z
    IntegerValues are whole numbers.123
    DecimalNumber, rounded to 12 decimal places.123.456789012346
    FloatNumber, rounded to 14 decimal places.123.45678901234568
    FileHolds the contents of a file.n/a
    UndefinedValue will be passed unformatted.n/a
