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 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 the json field. This typically includes details about the received DELETE request such as headers, args (query parameters), and data (body content). The output structure reflects the HttpBin API's standard response format for DELETE requests, which helps users verify what was sent and how the server interpreted it.

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 must be available.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:
    • Incorrectly formatted query parameters or JSON body may lead to unexpected responses or errors.
    • Network issues or HttpBin service downtime will cause 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 JSON 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 output to debug the exact request sent and adjust accordingly.
