@rtorreblanca You can only use credentials on headers in the POST method. GET will not work with credentials.

Hi ​@rtorreblanca,

 

If the API expects something like

GET https://api.example.com/resource?user=jdoe&token=abc123

You can compose that string in variables and pass it to the Endpoint URL field.

 

While saying that, putting credentials in the URL is generally discouraged (URLs can be logged in proxies, servers, and browser histories). If the service only accepts credentials via query string:

  • Use short-lived tokens if the API supports them.
  • Keep them in the Credentials vault; never hardcode them.

Hi! I solved the problem using the SOAP implementation for the service, but from AA I couldn't solve the specific problem using HTTP.

@rtorreblanca URL/URI parameters work with all methods. No SOAP needed. However, we do have a SOAP package for those few systems that still use it.
