Overview

This node interacts with the HttpBin API, specifically allowing users to perform HTTP DELETE requests. It is useful for testing and debugging HTTP DELETE operations by sending either query parameters or JSON data in the request body. Practical applications include simulating API DELETE calls, validating server responses to DELETE requests, or experimenting with different payload formats (query vs JSON) without needing a real backend.

Properties

Name Meaning
Type of Data Selects the format of data sent with the DELETE request: either as Query Parameters or JSON Body. Options: Query, JSON.
Query Parameters When "Type of Data" is set to Query, this property allows specifying multiple key-value pairs to be sent as URL query parameters. Each pair consists of a Key (string) and a Value (string).
JSON Object When "Type of Data" is set to JSON, this property allows specifying multiple key-value pairs to be sent as JSON properties in the request body. Each pair consists of a Key (string) and a Value (string).

Output

The node outputs the response from the HttpBin API in the json field of the output data. This typically includes details about the DELETE request received by HttpBin, such as the URL, headers, query parameters, and JSON body that were sent. The output structure reflects the standard HttpBin response format for DELETE requests.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the public HttpBin API at https://httpbin.org.
  • No mandatory credentials are required, but an optional API key credential can be configured if needed.
  • Network connectivity to the HttpBin service is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:
    • Incorrectly formatted query parameters or JSON body may cause unexpected responses.
    • Network issues or HttpBin service downtime will result in request failures.
  • Error Messages:
    • HTTP errors (e.g., 4xx or 5xx status codes) indicate problems with the request or server.
    • JSON parsing errors may occur if the input data is malformed.
  • Resolutions:
    • Verify the correctness of keys and values in query parameters or JSON body.
    • Ensure network connectivity and that https://httpbin.org is reachable.
    • Use the node’s error output to inspect detailed error messages and adjust inputs accordingly.
