Make API Request

PreviousAsk AINextTerminal Command

Last updated 5 months ago

API request actions allow you to build powerful API integrations with external services that offer APIs.

API requests can have the following fields:

  • URL The API endpoint (supports Action Variables)

  • Method GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE

  • Next Action The action to call after this request. See Next Action Field.

  • Headers A set of key/value pairs for headers. Both support Action Variables.

  • Payload The body of the API request. Supports Action Variables and notably a good target for Templating.

Often you can use either Templating to format the right payload for your API request or use an Ask AI action to format the right payload. Pick the best fit for you.
