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.

Configuration

Open the Config node and set:
