In this guide, you’ll learn how to configure a payload in NDJSON format.
- Access Azion Console > Data Stream.
- Follow the steps described on the How to use Standard HTTP/HTTPS POST to receive data guide for the Destination section.
- Under Payload, set the values you want to use:

Via API
- Run the following
POSTrequest in your terminal, replacing[TOKEN VALUE]with your personal token:
curl --location 'https://api.azionapi.net/data_streaming/streamings' \--header 'Accept: application/json; version=3' \--header 'Authorization: Token [TOKEN VALUE]' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \--data '{ "name": "My HTTPS connector", "template_id": 2, "domain_ids": [1656613172], "endpoint": { "endpoint_type": "standard", "url": "http://myhost.com", "payload_format": "$dataset", "log_line_separator": "\n", "max_size": 1000024, "headers":{ "header-name-1": "header-api-value-1", "header-name-2": "header-api-value-2", } }}'- You’ll receive a response similar to this:
{ "results": { "id": 1595, "name": "My HTTPS connector", "template_id": 2, "data_source": "http", "active": true, "endpoint": { "endpoint_type": "standard", "url": "http://myhost.com", "log_line_separator": "\n", "payload_format": "$dataset", "max_size": 1000024, "headers": { "header-name-1": "header-api-value-1", "header-name-2": "header-api-value-2", } }, "all_domains": false }, "schema_version": 3}Wait a few minutes for the changes to propagate and your stream will be updated.
