Utility & web · Step
Send JSON to the web
Send JSON to a web address (POST, PUT or PATCH) and read its answer. HTTPS only, at most 10 per run.
http.post_json
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, send JSON to the web.”
Send each new application to your own site.
What it does
Send JSON to a web address (POST, PUT or PATCH) and read its answer. HTTPS only, at most 10 per run. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 6 values later steps can use. Find it under Utility & web in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for odds and ends: send JSON to a web address (POST, PUT or PATCH) and read its answer. HTTPS only, at most 10 per run.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
Typical wiring

- Address Text needed
-
The web address to call. It must start with https://. Variables allowed.
