HTTP Request

The HTTP Request step enables you to interact with external APIs and web services by sending HTTP requests. This step provides a flexible interface to configure all aspects of your request, including:

• HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.)
• Target URL endpoint
• Request headers
• Request body payload

​

Request Method

Select the HTTP method for your request (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).

To select the method:

1. Click on the method name in the step
2. Select the desired method from the dropdown menu

​

URL

Enter the complete URL for the API endpoint you want to call.

​

Headers

Add any required HTTP headers for your request, such as authentication tokens or content type specifications.

​

Request Body

For POST/PUT requests, specify the request body in JSON format.

​

Output

The step returns the following outputs that can be used in subsequent steps:

• ok - A boolean value that is true if the response status code is in the 2xx range, false otherwise
• status - The HTTP status code of the response
• headers - Response headers as key-value pairs
• body - The response body content

​

Security Considerations

When using the HTTP Request step, keep these security best practices in mind:

• Never Expose Sensitive Data: Avoid hardcoding sensitive information like API keys, tokens, or passwords directly in the URL or headers. Instead, use Variables to store and reference sensitive data securely.
