# Send Web Request ## What it is The Send Web Request block is a tool for making HTTP requests to specified web addresses. ## What it does This block allows you to send various types of web requests (such as GET, POST, PUT, etc.) to a given URL, optionally including headers and a request body. It then processes the response and categorizes it based on the status code received. ## How it works When activated, the block takes the provided URL, request method, headers, and body. It then sends the request to the specified web address. Upon receiving a response, it analyzes the status code and returns the response data in one of three categories: successful response, client error, or server error. ## Inputs | Input | Description | |-------|-------------| | URL | The web address to which the request will be sent | | Method | The type of HTTP request (e.g., GET, POST, PUT). Default is POST | | Headers | Additional information sent with the request, such as authentication tokens or content type. This is optional | | Body | The main content of the request, typically used for sending data in POST or PUT requests. This is optional | ## Outputs | Output | Description | |--------|-------------| | Response | The data received from a successful request (status codes 200-299) | | Client Error | Information about errors caused by the client, such as invalid requests (status codes 400-499) | | Server Error | Information about errors on the server side (status codes 500-599) | ## Possible use case This block could be used in an application that needs to interact with external APIs. For example, it could send user data to a registration service, retrieve product information from an e-commerce platform, or post updates to a social media service. The block's ability to handle different types of responses makes it versatile for various web-based interactions.
