API Request

The API Request component constructs and sends HTTP requests using URLs or curl commands:

• URL mode: Enter one or more comma-separated URLs, and then select the method for the request to each URL.
• curl mode: Enter the curl command to execute.

You can enable additional request options and fields in the component's parameters.

Returns a JSON object containing the response.

For provider-specific API components, see Bundles.

API Request parameters

Some parameters are hidden by default in the visual editor. You can modify all component parameters through the component inspection panel that appears when you select a component.
