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. 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 as query parameters appended to the URL. Each pair consists of a Key and its corresponding Value. |
| JSON Object | When "Type of Data" is set to JSON, this property allows specifying multiple key-value pairs that form the JSON body of the DELETE request. Each pair consists of a Key and its corresponding Value. |
Output
The node outputs the response from the HttpBin API in JSON format. The output JSON reflects the server's interpretation of the DELETE request, including any query parameters or JSON body sent. This typically includes fields such as the URL requested, headers received, and data parsed from the request. No binary data output is produced.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the public HttpBin API at https://httpbin.org.
- Optionally uses an API authentication token if configured, but it is not mandatory.
- No additional external dependencies beyond standard HTTP request capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Incorrectly formatted query parameters or JSON body may cause unexpected responses or errors.
- Network connectivity issues can prevent reaching the HttpBin service.
- Selecting the wrong "Type of Data" option might lead to the server ignoring the payload.
Error Messages:
- HTTP error codes returned by HttpBin (e.g., 400 Bad Request) usually indicate malformed input; verify keys and values.
- Timeout or network errors suggest connectivity problems; check internet connection and proxy settings if applicable.
