HTTP

Description

The HTTP module makes HTTP requests to any external or internal endpoint. It supports GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE methods. It is the most versatile module for integrations with third-party REST APIs. It allows sending custom headers, request body and basic authentication via credentials. It is used when you need to consume or send data to external services within a workflow.

Configuration

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
url	text	Yes	Endpoint URL to connect to
method	select	Yes	HTTP method to use (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE)
credentials_id	credentials	No	Credentials for authentication (optional)
headers	json	No	HTTP headers in JSON format
body	textarea	No	Request body (for POST, PUT, PATCH)

Credentials

This module supports optional Basic Auth credentials. The credential must contain the fields:

• username: Username for basic authentication
• password: Password for basic authentication

When credentials are provided, the module automatically generates the Authorization: Basic <base64> header and adds it to the request.

Output

{
  "nextModule": "siguiente_modulo",
  "data": {
    "resultado": "datos de la respuesta de la API"
  }
}

Usage Example

Basic case

{
  "url": "https://api.ejemplo.com/datos",
  "method": "GET"
}

With authentication and headers

{
  "url": "https://api.ejemplo.com/enviar",
  "method": "POST",
  "credentials_id": "cred_123",
  "headers": {
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  "body": "{\"nombre\": \"valor\"}"
}

API Used

Any accessible HTTP/HTTPS endpoint. Uses the axios library to make requests.

Notes

• The body field is sent as-is as data in the axios request
• Custom headers are combined with authentication headers if they exist
• In case of error, the module returns nextModule: null and the error message in the error field
• Supports dynamic variables {{variable}} in configuration fields
• The default timeout is the axios default (no explicit limit configured)
