HTTP(s) Request

The HTTP Request node is one of the most versatile nodes in workflow. It allows you to make HTTP requests to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

When using this node, you're creating a REST API call. You need some understanding of basic API terminology and concepts.

Node parameters

Method

Select the method to use for the request:

URL

Parameters, headers, and body

You can choose to send additional information with your request. The data you need to send depends on the API you're interacting with, and the type of request you're making. Refer to your service's API documentation for detailed guidance.

• Send Query Parameters: include query parameters. Query parameters are usually used as filters or searches on your query.

• Send Headers: include request headers. Headers contain metadata about your request.

• Send Body: send additional information in the body of your request.
