Overview
The node interacts with the HttpBin API, specifically supporting HTTP GET requests under the "HTTP Verb" resource. It allows users to send HTTP GET requests with customizable query parameters. This is useful for testing and debugging HTTP requests by sending specific query parameters and observing the response from HttpBin, which echoes back the request details.
Practical examples include:
- Testing how an API handles various query parameters.
- Debugging URL encoding issues.
- Inspecting how different query parameters affect server responses.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Type of Data | Selects the type of data to send; currently only supports "Query" (query parameters). |
| Query Parameters | Key-value pairs representing the query parameters to be sent with the GET request. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data reflecting the response from the HttpBin API. For a GET request with query parameters, the output JSON will typically include an object showing the received query parameters echoed back by HttpBin. This helps verify that the parameters were correctly sent.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the public HttpBin API at
https://httpbin.org. - Optionally uses an API key credential if configured, but it is not required.
- No additional environment variables or configurations are necessary.
Troubleshooting
Issue: Query parameters not appearing in the response as expected.
- Cause: Incorrectly formatted key-value pairs or empty keys/values.
- Resolution: Ensure all query parameter keys and values are properly set and non-empty.
Issue: Network errors or timeouts.
- Cause: Connectivity issues or HttpBin service downtime.
- Resolution: Verify internet connection and retry later.
Error Messages: Errors related to invalid query parameters or malformed requests may occur.
- Check that the "Type of Data" is set to "Query" and that query parameters are correctly defined.
