The HTTP connector lets your workflows make HTTP requests to any API endpoint. It supports all standard HTTP methods with optional authentication and custom headers.
A connection is optional. You can use this connector without a connection for public APIs, or configure a connection to set a base URL and authentication for reuse across requests.

​
Connection setup (optional)

If you make multiple requests to the same API, configure a connection to avoid repeating the base URL and auth details:
  • Base URL: Common prefix for all requests (e.g., https://api.example.com)
  • Auth Method: none, bearer, api-key, or basic
  • Token / API Key: For bearer or API key auth
  • Username / Password: For basic auth

​
