Overview
This node interacts with the HttpBin API, specifically performing HTTP DELETE requests. It allows users to send DELETE requests with either query parameters or JSON body data. This is useful for testing and debugging HTTP DELETE operations against APIs that accept such requests.
Common scenarios include:
- Testing API endpoints that require DELETE requests with specific query parameters.
- Sending JSON payloads in DELETE requests to simulate real-world API interactions.
- Debugging how an API handles different types of DELETE request data.
For example, a user might want to delete resources identified by query parameters or send a JSON object specifying deletion criteria.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Type of Data | Select the type of data to send with the DELETE request: "Query" (query parameters) or "JSON" (JSON body). |
| Query Parameters | When "Type of Data" is set to "Query", specify one or more key-value pairs as query parameters to include in 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 response from the HttpBin API in the json field. This typically includes details about the received request, such as headers, args (query parameters), and data (body content). The output structure reflects the HttpBin service's response format, which helps verify what was sent in the DELETE request.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the public HttpBin API at
https://httpbin.org. - Optionally uses an API authentication token if configured, but it is not mandatory.
- No additional external dependencies are required.
Troubleshooting
- Issue: Incorrect or missing query parameters or JSON body keys may cause unexpected API responses.
- Resolution: Ensure all required keys and values are correctly specified according to the API expectations.
- Issue: Network errors or inability to reach
https://httpbin.org.- Resolution: Check internet connectivity and firewall settings.
- Issue: Unexpected response format or empty response.
- Resolution: Verify that the correct "Type of Data" option is selected and that the corresponding fields are properly filled.
