HTTP Request

How to Send a Request

Send Request: Send an HTTP request to the server to fetch or submit data.

Method: Select the HTTP method, such as GET (to fetch data) or POST (to send data).

Destination URL: Enter the URL of the server you want to send the request to.

---

Content Type

Select the data format to be sent. There are 4 options:

• text/plain: Plain text without special formatting

• application/json: JSON format, commonly used for structured data

• multipart/form-data: Used to send multiple parts of data, such as file uploads

• application/x-www-form-urlencoded: Encodes data in URL format; all characters will be URL-encoded (default if no type is specified)

---

Timeout

Set the timeout for the HTTP request. Choose 0 if no timeout is needed.

---

Headers

This section is commonly used for API authentication by adding required headers.

---

Expected Response Type

Choose how the API response should be interpreted:

• JSON – Structured data commonly used in APIs

• Text – Plain text response

• Base64 – Encoded binary data, often used for images or file transfers

---

Headers for Authentication

To authenticate when using an API, if required. For example, to use a Bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer hfkasf2938safjkb,bfclsaidfcf,jsacbliwgsbdcjsacsdakhfasjbasdfhfakjsfdbcasdfgasfbasdfhbfcbashdagdkbsajfhgdsb.

Writing Command in the Body

When writing logic in the request body to access data such as variables or tables, the final output must be a valid JSON to avoid errors, since this content is usually strictly formatted.

---

Multi-line Strings

If the data you're referencing contains line breaks, use an exclamation mark ! before the keyword. Example:

{
   "longText": {{!$stringify([variables.src])}}
}

---

Other Data Types

If the data is an object, array, etc., you can directly write {} inside the body. Example:

{
   "profile": {{$stringify[variables.userProfile]}}, 
   "stats": {{$stringify[variables.stats]}}
}

---

Handling the Response

Once the API response is received, you must process it appropriately.

---

Response Type

The response type is usually JSON.

---

Data Path

Define the path of the specific data you want to extract. For example, if the API returns:

{
   "status": 200,
   "data": {
      "name": "Prices",
      "values": [
         { "id": 1, "value": 4000 },
         { "id": 2, "value": 24000 }
      ]
   }
}

• To access the values array: use data.values

• To access the first item in the array: use data.values.0

• If you want to use all returned data, you can skip setting the data path.

---

Assigning to Variable

You can assign the received data to a variable.

• Variable name – The name of the variable to store the result

• Insert into table – You can insert the value into a column in a table

• Select column – Choose the column you want to insert into

• Add row – Add a new row to the table with the incoming data
