Generate Public Link
The public link action will take the entire input object and store it at a randomized, unguessable public URL for a temporary amount of time. The URL to the data is then returned as a string for subsequent actions.
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| Any (`JSON`) | - Any (`JSON`) (*Passthrough*) - Public URL (`string`) |
Data Retention and Security
The data is stored at an unguessable, randomized public URL. Staff control the duration that the data should be available for - after this time, the data is automatically deleted and purged, and users or systems attempting to access the data will receive a 404 Not Found error.
Sample public link URL
Expiration options are
- 1 day
- 3 days
- 1 week
- 2 weeks
- 1 month
- 3 months
Example
| If the input dataset is: { "myData": [ { "Make": "Toyota", "Model": "Camry", "Year": 2020, "Price": 24000 }, { "Make": "Honda", "Model": "Civic", "Year": 2019, "Price": 22000 }, { "Make": "Ford", "Model": "Mustang", "Year": 2021, "Price": 27000 } ] } | Then the output dataset returns: { "myData": [ { "Make": "Toyota", "Model": "Camry", "Year": 2020, "Price": 24000 }, { "Make": "Honda", "Model": "Civic", "Year": 2019, "Price": 22000 }, { "Make": "Ford", "Model": "Mustang", "Year": 2021, "Price": 27000 } ], "myPublicLink": "https://idmswfus.blob.core.windows.net/pub/.../01XXXXXXXXXXX.json" } | Browsing to the public link yields: { "myData": [ { "Make": "Toyota", "Model": "Camry", "Year": 2020, "Price": 24000 }, { "Make": "Honda", "Model": "Civic", "Year": 2019, "Price": 22000 }, { "Make": "Ford", "Model": "Mustang", "Year": 2021, "Price": 27000 } ] } |
