HTTP Request¶
Get, put or post data to an external HTTP endpoint.
Default config¶
{
"type": "http",
"method": "get",
"endpoint": {
"protocol": "https:",
"host": "jsonplaceholder.typicode.com",
"pathname": "/posts",
"query": {
"userId": 1
}
}
}
Supported properties¶
- method - REQUIRED - allowed values are get, put, post, and delete.
- notify (boolean) (default = true): Show a notification message if the request is successful. This message is not sent when the HTTP method is GET, but can be turned on and off for POST, PUT, and DELETE requests by using this property.
Examples¶
For simple requests, the endpoint
can just be a simple string:
{
"type": "http",
"method": "get",
"endpoint": "https://covid19.mathdro.id/api"
}
For advanced use cases, the payload can be constructed using a JMES Path expression. Custom headers can also be specified using JMES Path expressions:
{
"type": "http",
"method": "post",
"endpoint": {
"protocol": "https:",
"host": "accounts.spotify.com",
"pathname": "/api/token"
},
"payload": "'grant_type=client_credentials'",
"headers": {
"Content-Type": "'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'",
"Authorization": "join('', ['Basic ', btoa(join('', [data.client_id, ':', data.client_secret]))])"
}
}
It is possible to query a GraphQL endpoint using the HTTP block.
{
"type": "http",
"method": "post",
"notify": false,
"endpoint": {
"protocol": "https:",
"host": "valnet.lurker.dev",
"pathname": "/api/graphql"
},
"payload": "{ query: 'query ($token: String) { viewer(token: $token) { allCommitments { id action plannedStart committedOn due committedQuantity { numericValue unit { name } } note resourceClassifiedAs { name category } involves { id resourceClassifiedAs { name category } trackingIdentifier } provider { id name } receiver { id name } inputOf { id name } outputOf { id name } scope { id name } plan { id name } isPlanDeliverable forPlanDeliverable { id action outputOf { name } } isDeletable } }}', variables: { token: context.vfAuth } }"
