The HTTP source enables the Toolbox to retrieve data from a remote server using HTTP requests.
---
## About
The HTTP Source allows Toolbox to retrieve data from arbitrary HTTP
endpoints. This enables Generative AI applications to access data from web APIs
and other HTTP-accessible resources.
## Available Tools
- [`http`](../tools/http/http.md)
Make HTTP requests to REST APIs or other web services.
## Example
```yaml
sources:
my-http-source:
kind: http
baseUrl: https://api.example.com/data
timeout: 10s # default to 30s
headers:
Authorization: Bearer ${API_KEY}
Content-Type: application/json
queryParams:
param1: value1
param2: value2
# disableSslVerification: false
```
{{< notice tip >}}
Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME}
instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file.
