HTTP actions
HTTP actions enable you to interact with APIs and send web requests that perform various operations, such as uploading and downloading data and files.
To send an API request, like POST, GET, PUT, or DELETE, use the Invoke web service action.
In the action's properties, you must populate the service's URL and the appropriate HTTP method. Additionally, you must choose the request and response content type, such as XML and JSON.
The Custom headers and Request body fields depend on the API, and you have to configure them as described in its documentation.
If the web server requires authentication, populate your credentials in the appropriate fields of the action's Advanced settings.
A variable named WebServiceResponse stores the results of the web service request. If the results are files, you can select to save them locally on your desktop.
To download text or files from the web, you can use the Download from web action. This action requires you to populate the URL of the web page or the file and select the appropriate HTTP method.
If the web server requires authentication, populate your credentials in the appropriate fields of the action's Advanced settings.
A variable named WebPageText stores the downloaded text is stored. If you use this action to download files, you can select to save them locally on your desktop.
Note
Apart from the HTTP actions, Power Automate enables users to interact with web application through the browser automation actions. To find more information about browser automation actions, go to Browser automation.
Download from web
Downloads text or a file from the web and stores it.
