NameDescription
JSON URLURL to be called.
Call Type

Select the call type:

  • GET
  • POST

GET requests include all required data in the URL. GET is less secure compared to POST because the data sent is part of the URL. So it's saved in browser history and server logs in plaintext.

In contrast, HTTP POST requests supply additional data from the client (browser) to the server in the message body. POST is a little safer than GET because the parameters are not stored in browser history or in web server logs. From here.

Body Type

(Only Applicable to Call type = POST)

Select the post POST method:

  • Request Parameters
    • Add name(s) and value(s) to the request header

      FieldDescription
      NameName (or Type ) of the Request Header 
      ValueLink or Value of the Request Header
  • POST Parameters as JSON Payload
    • When POST Method is set to "POST Parameters", these parameters will be sent as a UrlEncodedFormEntity.

      When POST Method is set to "POST Parameters as JSON Payload", these parameters will be sent as a StringEntity in a form of an escaped JSON string.


  • Custom JSON Payload
    • Write your own JSON to be the payload. It will be sent as a StringEntity.

      This option is available only when "Custom JSON Payload" is selected.

Request HeadersAdd name(s) and value(s) to the request header.
No Response Expected
