HTTP Connectors Overview

HTTP connectors allow you to send data to web services and APIs.

Configuration Options

When setting up an HTTP connector, you'll need to provide:

1. Name - A descriptive name for the connector
2. URL - The endpoint URL to send data to
3. Method - HTTP method (POST, PUT, PATCH)
4. Headers - Any custom HTTP headers
5. Authentication - Authentication method (None, Bearer Token, OAuth2, Custom)

Authentication Methods

Choose the appropriate authentication method based on the requirements of the service you're connecting to:

• No Auth - For public APIs or services that use API keys in headers
• Bearer Token - For APIs that use static token-based authentication
• OAuth2 - For APIs that require OAuth2 authentication flows
• Custom - For bespoke token exchanges (dynamic query/body params, non-standard responses)

Testing the Connection

After configuring your HTTP connector, you can test it:

1. Add your connector to the export settings inside a project.
2. Upload a file to the project.
3. Hit process and check your HTTP connector for a response.

Best Practices

• Use HTTPS URLs for secure data transmission
• Include appropriate content-type headers
• Set reasonable timeout values
• Implement proper error handling in your receiving service
