Send GET Request

Overview
Sends an HTTP GET request to a sample service and displays the response in a message box. Defaults to querying https://ifconfig.me for your public IP address.
Send GET Request
Send GET Request fires an HTTP GET request to any URL and displays the response in a message box. Powered by Robomotion's HTTP nodes, it provides the simplest way to fetch data from a web service and inspect the result. By default it calls https://ifconfig.me to show your public IP address.
This template is a practical starting point for any automation that needs to consume REST APIs, check service responses, or retrieve data from the web.
What Send GET Request can do
- Send an HTTP GET request to any URL
- Display the response body in a dialog box
- Work with any endpoint that returns text or JSON
- Serve as a building block for API consuming workflows
Behind the scenes
The flow sends a GET request to the URL you configure and reads the response body. The response content is passed to a message box for display. You can point it at any public or internal endpoint that returns text or JSON data.
