Make GET Request

What does Make GET Request do?

The Make GET Request directive makes a HTTP GET request from your computer to a URL you specify.

You can specify the parameters and headers of the request.

If the URL you are accessing is not accessible from your location (eg. if you are geoblocked), the running of this directive will fail.

How do I use the Make GET Request directive?

Specify the URL you want this directive to access via a GET request and any parameters or headers to send with this request.

You can also specify the format of the request (eg. application/json).
