¶ About
Make HTTP/REST calls with cURL and capture the response body into a column for downstream parsing.
¶ What it does
- Reads one URL per input row
- Executes cURL with any flags you provide
- Writes the response body (text/JSON/XML) to the output column you choose (default:
response) - Retries and throttles when the server is busy
- Can inject a fallback JSON string when a call fails (so pipelines don’t break)
¶ Inputs & Outputs
Input
A table with at least one column containing the request URL (one row ⇒ one HTTP call).
Output
Same table, plus:
response(or your chosen column name): the raw response body as text.- Optional: a JSON fallback (via idErrorString) when the request fails.
