Overview
This node interacts with the HttpBin API, specifically allowing you to perform HTTP DELETE requests with customizable data payloads. It is useful for testing and debugging HTTP DELETE operations by sending either query parameters or JSON bodies to the HttpBin service, which then returns the request details in its response.
Practical examples include:
- Testing how your application handles DELETE requests with specific query parameters.
- Sending JSON data in a DELETE request body to verify server behavior.
- Debugging HTTP client implementations by inspecting the echoed request from HttpBin.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Type of Data | Select the type of data to send with the DELETE request: either Query parameters or JSON body. |
| Query Parameters | When "Type of Data" is set to Query, specify one or more key-value pairs as query parameters appended to the URL. |
| JSON Object | When "Type of Data" is set to JSON, specify one or more key-value pairs as properties in the JSON body of the request. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the HttpBin API, which reflects the details of the DELETE request it received. This includes the query parameters or JSON body sent, headers, and other request metadata. The output is structured as standard JSON data under the json field.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the public HttpBin API at
https://httpbin.org. - No mandatory authentication is required, but an optional API key credential can be configured if needed.
- Network connectivity to the HttpBin service must be available.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Network errors if the HttpBin service is unreachable.
- Incorrectly formatted query parameters or JSON body may cause unexpected responses.
- Error messages:
- HTTP errors (e.g., 4xx or 5xx) indicate issues with the request or server availability.
- Validation errors if required keys or values are missing in the input properties.
- Resolutions:
- Verify network connectivity and endpoint URL.
- Ensure all required fields in query parameters or JSON body are correctly filled.
- Check that the selected "Type of Data" matches the provided input format.
