HTTP Connectors enable integration with external APIs and live data sources, allowing real-time data retrieval and interaction.

To setup your HTTP Connector:

  • Name: Enter a unique name for the HTTP connector to identify it within your app.
  • Data Source Slug: Create a unique identifier for the connector to reference it within the app.
  • Description (Optional): Provide a brief description to explain the connector's purpose or details. This’ll help you manage multiple connectors.

Configuration: URL and Headers Setup You’ll also have to need to set up the Base URL and optionally, Headers to connect to external APIs.

  • Base URL: This is the main API endpoint,
    • This field is required, so make sure to include a properly formatted URL. (e.g., https://api.example.com). It must be a valid URL format.
  • Headers (Optional): Headers are optional fields used for authentication or passing extra information, like an API key or token.
    • You can add Key and Value pairs for each header (e.g., Authorisation: Bearer token).
    • If a header value is sensitive (like an API key), you can mark it as Secret to keep the value hidden.
