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 a JSON body payload. 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 query parameters.
- Sending DELETE requests with JSON bodies to simulate resource deletion with additional data.
- Debugging how an API handles different types of DELETE request payloads.
For example, you might use this node to delete a resource identified by query parameters or to 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. The structure of the output JSON depends on the HttpBin service's response to the DELETE request, typically including details about the received request such as headers, args (query parameters), and data (body content).
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 other external dependencies are required.
Troubleshooting
- Issue: Incorrect or missing query parameters or JSON body keys may cause unexpected responses or errors.
- Resolution: Ensure all required keys and values are correctly specified according to the target API's expectations.
- Issue: Network connectivity problems or HttpBin service downtime.
- Resolution: Verify internet connection and check the status of https://httpbin.org.
- Error: HTTP error responses (e.g., 4xx or 5xx status codes).
- Resolution: Review the request parameters and payload for correctness; consult HttpBin documentation or logs for details.
