Overview
This node interacts with the HttpBin API, specifically performing HTTP DELETE requests. It allows users to send DELETE requests with either query parameters or a JSON body payload. This is useful for testing and debugging HTTP DELETE operations against APIs that accept such requests.
Common scenarios include:
- Testing API endpoints that require DELETE requests with specific query parameters.
- Sending JSON data in the body of a DELETE request to simulate real-world API interactions.
- Debugging how an API handles different types of DELETE request payloads.
For example, you might use this node to delete a resource identified by query parameters or to send a JSON object specifying deletion criteria.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Type of Data | Select the type of data to send with the DELETE request: "Query" (query parameters) or "JSON" (JSON body). |
| Query Parameters | When "Type of Data" is set to "Query", specify one or more key-value pairs as query parameters to include in the URL. |
| JSON Object | When "Type of Data" is set to "JSON", specify one or more key-value pairs as properties in the JSON body of the request. |
Output
The node outputs the response from the HttpBin API in the json field. This typically includes details about the received request, such as the URL, headers, query parameters, and body content, reflecting what was sent. The output helps verify that the DELETE request was constructed and sent correctly.
No binary data output is expected from this node.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the public HttpBin API at https://httpbin.org.
- Optionally uses an API authentication token if configured, but it is not mandatory.
- No additional external dependencies are required.
Troubleshooting
- Issue: Incorrect or missing query parameters or JSON body keys may cause unexpected API responses.
- Resolution: Ensure all required keys and values are correctly specified according to the API's expectations.
- Issue: Network errors or inability to reach https://httpbin.org.
- Resolution: Verify internet connectivity and that the HttpBin service is reachable.
- Issue: Unexpected response format or errors from the API.
- Resolution: Check that the "Type of Data" matches the expected input format for the API endpoint.
