HTTP Commands

HTTP commands enable you to make HTTP/HTTPS requests to APIs and web services. These commands are essential for fetching data from REST APIs, web services, and other HTTP-based endpoints.

Overview

HTTP commands provide functionality for:

Making GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and other HTTP method requests
Configuring request headers, query parameters, and request bodies
Handling authentication and authorization
Managing timeouts and error handling
Processing HTTP responses

Available Commands

HTTP Request

Make HTTP/HTTPS requests to APIs and web services

Common Use Cases

API Integration: Fetch data from REST APIs
Web Scraping: Retrieve HTML content from web pages
Data Synchronization: Pull data from external services
Authentication: Handle API authentication flows
Webhook Processing: Send data to webhook endpoints

Command Parameters

HTTP commands typically support the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description	Required
url	string	The target URL for the HTTP request	Yes
method	string	HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.)	No (defaults to GET)
headers	object	HTTP headers to include in the request	No
body	string/object	Request body for POST/PUT requests	No
timeout	number	Maximum wait time in milliseconds	No
queryParams	object	URL query parameters	No

Variable Support

HTTP commands support variable interpolation in URLs, headers, and request bodies:

{
  "command": "http-request",
  "params": {
    "url": "https://api.example.com/data?project=@{PROJECT_ID}",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer %{API_KEY}"
    },
    "timeout": 10000
  }
}

Best Practices

Use Secrets for Credentials: Always use %{SECRET_NAME} for API keys and passwords
Set Appropriate Timeouts: Configure timeouts based on expected response times
Handle Errors: Implement error handling for failed requests
Use Project Variables: Leverage @{PROJECT_ID} and @{RUN_ID} for tracking
Validate Responses: Always validate response structure before processing
