Overview
The node interacts with the HttpBin API, specifically performing HTTP GET requests with customizable query parameters. It is useful for testing and debugging HTTP requests by sending GET requests to HttpBin endpoints and inspecting the responses. Practical applications include verifying how query parameters are sent and received, experimenting with different request configurations, or learning about HTTP request behaviors.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Type of Data | Selects the type of data to send; for this operation, only "Query" (query parameters) is supported. |
| Query Parameters | Key-value pairs representing the query parameters to be included in the GET request URL. Each pair consists of a key (parameter name) and its corresponding value. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the HttpBin API for the GET request made with the specified query parameters. The json output field contains the full response body parsed as JSON, which typically includes details about the request such as the URL, headers, and the query parameters received by HttpBin.
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 external services are necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Network connectivity problems may prevent reaching the HttpBin API.
- Incorrectly formatted query parameters could lead to unexpected responses.
- Error messages:
- HTTP errors (e.g., 4xx or 5xx status codes) indicate issues with the request or server.
- Timeout errors suggest network delays or unavailability of the HttpBin service.
- Resolutions:
- Verify internet connection and that
https://httpbin.orgis reachable. - Ensure query parameter keys and values are correctly set and URL-safe.
- Retry the request if transient network errors occur.
- Verify internet connection and that
