Sending compressed payloads
To send a
gzip compressed payload to the EDI Core API, set the Content-Type header to the value of application/gzip. EDI Core only supports gzip compression.Note that the maximum document size limit is applied after decompressing the content of the payload. If the decompressed payload of a given request is larger than the maximum document size limit, the EDI Core API will reject the request.
The following TypeScript example shows how to send a
gzip compressed payload to the /translate endpoint.import * as fs from "fs";
import axios from "axios";
import { gzipSync } from "zlib";
const API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY";
const rootURL = "https://edi-core.stedi.com/2021-06-05/translate";
const headers = {
"Authorization": `Key ${API_KEY}`,
"content-type": "application/gzip",
"accept-encoding": "gzip",
};
const edi = fs.readFileSync(process.argv[2], "utf-8");
async function makeRequest(): Promise<void> {
const request = {
input: edi,
input_format: "edi",
output_format: "jedi@2.0",
};
const response = await axios.request({
method: "post",
url: url,
data: gzipSync(JSON.stringify(request)),
headers: headers,
});
console.log(response.status);
console.log(response.data);
}
async function main() {
try {
await makeRequest();
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
}
main();
