Generic List and x-www-form-urlencoded REST API

wait

Hi, I what I need to do is call REST API using x-www-form-urlencoded body to get a token that I can use calling other services, I'm using Http Client but what I can't figure out is how to create a list of the type <string><string> in NAV.

Edit, I'm trying to use Dictionary to achieve this System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.'mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

Does anyone have a clue how I can achieve this without writing my own dll?

The request I need to do:

How would I implement this in AL code without the Dotnet variables?

HttpClient is now a native datatype in BC. See Docs for al the available methods. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods-auto/httpclient/httpclient-data-type

I can see that Dictionary is a datatype and could be generated with values however FormURLEncodedContent is not as far as I am aware available in BC so how would the Dictionary be implemented as it is using the DotNet interop example above?

Hi @jimmyf, you should be able to use the "Type Helper" codeunit function "UrlEncode". Look at the last example on this page. https://www.kauffmann.nl/2017/07/18/al-web-service-examples/
