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 via RESTful APIs or simulating DELETE requests during API development and testing.

Properties

Name Meaning
Type of Data Selects the type of data to send with the DELETE request: either Query Parameters or JSON Body. Options: "Query" (queryParameter), "JSON" (jsonData).
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 as JSON properties sent in the request body. Each pair consists of a Key and its corresponding Value.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the HttpBin API after performing the DELETE request. The structure typically includes details about the request received by HttpBin, such as the arguments sent, headers, and other metadata. This output helps verify what data was actually sent and how the server processed it.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the public HttpBin API endpoint at https://httpbin.org.
  • Optionally supports an API authentication token credential, but it is not required.
  • No additional environment variables or configurations are necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:
    • Incorrectly formatted query parameters or JSON body may cause the request to fail or return unexpected results.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent reaching the HttpBin service.
  • Error Messages:
    • HTTP errors (e.g., 4xx or 5xx) indicate problems with the request or server; verify the correctness of parameters and network status.
    • Missing or invalid keys in the input properties might cause the node to throw validation errors before execution.
  • Resolution Tips:
    • Ensure that all required keys and values are provided and correctly typed.
    • Use the node’s output to inspect the exact request sent and adjust parameters accordingly.
    • Confirm internet connectivity and that https://httpbin.org is reachable from your environment.
