Custom API Action | Help Center

Make a custom HTTP Request to the Github API.

Request Type (dropdown) - Available HTTP Request Methods. Choose from GET, POST, and DELETE. Refer to API docs in order to determine which request type to use.
- GET: retrieves data from a web server based on your parameters. GET requests a representation of the specified resource, and if successful will receive a 200 OK response message with the requested content. Additional documentation here.
- POST: sends data to a web server based on your parameters. POST requests include actions like uploading a file. Multiple POST’s may result in a different outcome than a single POST, so you should be cautious about unintentionally sending multiple POST’s. Additional documentation here.
- PATCH: applies partial modifications to a resource on a web server based on your parameters. PATCH is not idempotent, meaning that the result of multiple PATCH’s could have unintended consequences. If a PUT is successful, you will receive a 200 response message (usually 204). Additional documentation here.
- DELETE: deletes the specified resource from the web server based on your parameters (if the resource exists). Additional documentation here.

Request
- Relative URL (string) - Relative request URL. The relative URL structure for this action follows the .com. in the Github API url. E.g. - If the full API URL is https://api.github.com/issues, then the Relative URL would be /issues.
```
Example: /issues
```
- Query (object) - Query parmaeters for the request.
```
Example: {"state":"open"}
```
- Headers (object) - Headers for the request.
```
Example: {"Accept":"application/json"}
```
- Body (object) (only for POST and DELETE) - Body of the request.
```
Example: {"foo": "automation, "bar": "integration"}
```

Response
- Status Code (number) - The status code of the HTTP response. Here is a list of all status codes.
- Headers (object) - The response headers. A more detailed context for the response/status code that doesn’t relate to the output body. Not all headers that appear in a response header are response headers, meaning that some are unlikely to be useful to you.
- Body (object) - The response body. Depending on the HTTP request you chose in Options, you may receive some data back. That data, such as the data from a GET request, will be contained in this Body object.
