How to send http POST request from sql server stored procedure. Important! For some reason sp_OAGetProperty is returning null. Am not sure why and if anyone has an idea can update the gists. In case you need to try another option SQL CLR would help. Check here https://gist.github.com/JahsonKim/05e6af7744f2d7ef814e5ed331419db5

@ericxin1982 If you sent the post data as json string I think it will processed by the API. Ensure you also set the content type as application/json. If this doesn't work maybe you can use SQL CLR which is more flexible.
