Send Raw Request

How to send a VTS Raw request

1. Choose request type
   First we are looking for the request we want to make. You can find your exact request type in the VTS API documentation. In our example, we'll do a ExpressionStateRequest.
2. Create the subaction
   We create the subaction Integrations -> VStudio -> Send Raw Request. The Request field of the subaction gets the messageType key shown in the documentation. That's the area marked in orange.

3. Data key
   The actual big input area is the data key, marked in yellow. But here we only copy everything within (and including) the curly brackets.
   If the request shown in the documentation doesn't have a data key (like the CurrentModelRequest), then you just do empty curly brackets as the input: {}
4. Replace eventual placeholders
   For the ExpressionStateRequest, we are looking for a specific expression of ours which is just called test, so we replace myExpression_optional_1.exp3.json with test.exp3.json. So in case you have to specify certain values, make sure to replace the placeholders.
5. Test action
   Now we are ready to test the request by either hitting "Test" on the subaction or just running the entire action (running the entire action would populate %variables% if we used any in the request).

6. Check response variables
   We can check the populated variables in the response of the subaction or in the Action History after running the action.
7. Done!
