Use the HttpGetRequest Activity

Note: Use caution when building or editing a workflow. For further advice or to arrange training, contact your professional services consultant.

The HttpGetRequest activity can be used to make a GET REST call to an authenticated Application Programming Interface (API).

The HttpGetRequest activity is located in the REST section of the Tribal Toolbox.

Note: The minimum requirement for the HttpGetRequest activity is URL.

This activity contains the following relevant properties:

Section	This field	Holds this information...
Behaviour	FailIfNotSuccessful	Whether the workflow must terminate if a successful response is received (for example: a 400 Bad Request error) - input true or false. Note: The FailIfNotSuccessful property is set to false by default.
Inputs	Accept	The accept header string value (for example: application/xml). Note: The Accept property is set to application/json by default.
	Authorization	The authorisation header.
	QueryStringParameters	The optional dictionary parameters (key/value string pairs) that will be automatically appended to the URL following the '?', separated by '&', with '=' inserted between the key and value.
	RequestApiHeaders	The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) headers (for example: Authorisation, Accept and Content-type).
	URL	The REST Service Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Misc	DisplayName	The title of the activity. Note: The DisplayName property is set to HTTPGetRequest by default.
Outputs	ResponseContent	The output response, if any (for example: a string typically containing JSON or XML).
	StatusCode	The HTTP response code that indicates the status of the call to the web service (for example: 200, 401, 404, 503).

Clicking the ellipsis button adjacent to the relevant field opens the Expression Editor, where you can enter the relevant code in the Visual Basic (VB) format.
