Interact with any RESTful API by specifying the endpoint URL, selecting the desired HTTP method, including request headers (in JSON format), providing an optional request body, and optionally attaching a file.
Application
Generic REST API
Inputs (what you have)
Name | Description | Data Type | Required? | Example |
Endpoint | The URL of the API endpoint to access. | URL | Yes |
|
Method | The HTTP method to be used for the request. | Predefined Choice List | Yes | GET |
Request headers | Additional headers to include in the request in JSON format. | Text (Long) | No | {"Content-Type": "application/json"} |
Request body | The data to be included in the request body. | Text (Long) | No | {"name": "John", "age": 25} |
File | A file to be included in the request. | File | No | example.png |
Note: the value of inputs can either be a set value in the configuration of the Wrk Action within the Wrkflow, or a variable from the Data library section. These variables in the Data library section are the outputs of previous Wrk Actions in the Wrkflow.
Outputs (what you get)
Name | Description | Data Type | Required | Example |
Response status code | The HTTP status code returned in the response. | Integer | Required | 200 |
Response headers | Additional information provided in the response headers. | Text (Long) | Optional | Content-Type: application/json |
Response body | The main content of the response. | Text (Long) | Optional | {"message": "Success"} |
Downloaded file | A file that is downloaded as part of the response. | File | Optional | example.pdf |
Note: The "Fields to Capture" input feature can be used to create new outputs for the Wrk Action with the value of the corresponding key name in the first-level JSON output of the Wrk Action.
Example: If the "Response Body" output is equal to {"message": "Success"} Then you are able to add a "Fields to capture" input with the name "message" that will add an output to the Wrk Action called "message" which will have the value "Success"
