Is it possible to convert the output of an API into another type?

Christian Posch

Hello everyone,

is it possible to convert the output of an API into another type? For information we are on the ON-Premise version.

Specifically, we receive a date from an API, which comes in the type String and which we would like to convert to the type Date.

This is the error message we get when we change the paratmeter type to Date and then specify it as an output parameter in the API:

Your problem is that this is not considered a Date compatible format by Default, and thus can not just be converted from String to Date.
You could createn a 'API Flow' (essentially create an API wrapper) and do the Conversion there instead.
