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 examples include deleting resources on a server where the API expects parameters via URL query strings or JSON payloads.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Type of Data | Selects the type of data to send with the DELETE request: either Query (query parameters) or JSON (JSON body). |
| Query Parameters | When "Type of Data" is set to Query, this property allows specifying multiple key-value pairs as query parameters appended to the URL. |
| JSON Object | When "Type of Data" is set to JSON, this property allows specifying multiple key-value pairs as JSON properties sent in the request body. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data returned from the HttpBin API after performing the DELETE request. The output JSON typically contains details about the request received by HttpBin, such as the URL, headers, query parameters, and JSON body content, which helps verify what was sent.
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 errors or inability to reach
https://httpbin.orgwill result in request failures.
- Error messages:
- HTTP error codes from the HttpBin API indicate issues with the request; verify parameter formatting.
- Timeout or connection errors suggest network problems; check internet connectivity and proxy settings if applicable.
