Details#

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

New Requests on HTTP / Webhook

Description:Get a URL and emit the full HTTP event on every request (including headers and query parameters). You can also configure the HTTP response code, body, and more.

HTTP / Webhook Overview#

Build, test, and send HTTP requests without code using your Pipedream workflows. The HTTP / Webhook action is a tool to build HTTP requests with a Postman-like graphical interface.

Point and click HTTP requests

Define the target URL, HTTP verb, headers, query parameters, and payload body without writing custom code.

$A screenshot of Pipedream's HTTP Request Configuration interface with a GET request type selected. The request URL is set to 'https://api.openai.com/v1/models'. The 'Auth' tab is highlighted, indicating that authentication is required for this request. In the headers section, there are two headers configured: 'User-Agent' is set to 'pipedream/1', and 'Authorization' is set to 'Bearer {{openai_api_key}}', showing how the OpenAI account's API key is dynamically inserted into the headers to handle authentication automatically.$

Here's an example workflow that uses the HTTP / Webhook action to send an authenticated API request to OpenAI.

Focus on integrating, not authenticating

This action can also use your connected accounts with third-party APIs. Selecting an integrated app will automatically update the request’s headers to authenticate with the app properly, and even inject your token dynamically.

Pipedream integrates with thousands of APIs, but if you can’t find a Pipedream integration simply use Environment Variables in your request headers to authenticate with.

Compatible with no code actions or Node.js and Python

The HTTP/Webhook action exports HTTP response data for use in subsequent workflow steps, enabling easy data transformation, further API calls, database storage, and more.

Response data is available for both coded (Node.js, Python) and no-code steps within your workflow.

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
N/A	`httpInterface`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Body Only	`emitBodyOnly`	`boolean`	This source emits an event representing the full HTTP request by default. Select `true` to emit the body only.
Response Status Code	`resStatusCode`	`string`	The status code to return in the HTTP response
Response Content-Type	`resContentType`	`string`	The `Content-Type` of the body returned in the HTTP response
Response Body	`resBody`	`string`	The body to return in the HTTP response
HTTP / Webhook	`http`	`app`	This component uses the HTTP / Webhook app.

Trigger Authentication#

The HTTP / Webhook API does not require authentication.

Action Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Height	`height`	`app`	This component uses the Height app.
Task ID	`taskId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Task Name	`taskName`	`string`	The name of the task
Description	`description`	`string`	The description of the task
Lists to Add	`listIdsToAdd`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Lists to Remove	`listIdsToRemove`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Assignees to Add	`assigneeIdsToAdd`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Assignees to Remove	`assigneeIdsToRemove`	`string[]`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Parent Task ID	`parentTaskId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Action Authentication#

Height uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Height account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Height APIs in both code and no-code steps.
