Http.Get

Name	Mandatory	Description	Default	Type
⬅️ Input		The input for this shard should either be none or an optional string table of query parameters to append to the URL.		None{String}
Output ➡️		The output is the response from the server through the GET request.		{status: Int headers: {String} body: Bytes}Bytes{status: Int headers: {String} body: String}StringHttp.Stream{status: Int headers: {String} stream: Http.Stream}
URL	No	The url to request to.	``	StringVar(String)
Headers	No	If a table of headers is provided, it will be used as is; if no headers are provided, a Content-Type header will be derived based on the input type.	none	None{String}Var({String})
Timeout	No	How many seconds to wait for the request to complete, including the connection and any read operations.	10	Int
Bytes	No	If instead of a string the shard should output bytes.	false	Bool
FullResponse	No	If the output should be a table with the full response, including headers and status. This also implies that Retry and Backoff will be ignored.	false	Bool
AcceptInvalidCerts	No	If we should ignore invalid certificates. This is useful for testing but should not be used in production.	false	Bool
Retry	No	How many times to retry the request if it fails.	0	Int
Streaming	No	If the response should be streamed, in which case the output will be an object to use with the Http.Stream shard. If full response is also requested, the body will be empty and a field 'stream' will be added to the table with the response object.	false	Bool
Backoff	No	Initial backoff time in seconds (will increase exponentially with each retry). Defaults to 1 second.	1	Int

This shard sends a GET request to the specified URL and outputs the response.

Details

This shard can accept a string table as input to append query parameters to the specified URL. For example,

{
  "param1": "value1"
  "param2": "value2"
  "param3": "value3"
} = query-params

query-params
Http.Get("https://api.example.com/endpoint")

The Http.Get shard will append the query parameters to the URL and the resulting constructed URL will be: https://api.example.com/endpoint?param1=value1&param2=value2&param3=value3

The Http.Get shard can handle the different responses that could be returned by the server. - HTML content: A web page's structure and content. - Plain text: Simple text data. - JSON (JavaScript Object Notation): Structured data commonly used in APIs. - XML (eXtensible Markup Language): Another format for structured data. - Binary data: Such as images, audio files, or documents. - Status codes: Indicating success (200 OK), redirection (3xx), client errors (4xx), or server errors (5xx). - Headers: Metadata about the response, like content type, caching instructions, or cookies. - Empty response: In some cases, with just a status code.
