This application does not need additional settings. So you can make connection only by using your login credentials or by following the instructions below .

HTTP Agent

With HTTP Agent modules in Boost.space Integrator, you can connect to your On-prem agent and make HTTP(S) requests, including for resources that require HTTP Basic and API Key authorizations.

[Note] Note

To use HTTP Agent modules in Make, you must have the Boost.space Integrator Enterprise plan.

HTTP Agent modules are only used with the On-prem agent. The On-prem agent must be installed with a connected system configured to use HTTP Agent modules. Refer to the Using the On-premise agent documentation for instructions on how to do so.

The HTTP Agent module you should use depends upon the authentication/authorization mechanism of the resource you wish to access:

Connect HTTP Agent to Boost.space Integrator

Establishing a connection to the HTTP Agent in Boost.space Integrator differs for each HTTP Agent module, depending on the authorization type. Follow the connection procedure below and insert the specific information for the HTTP Agent module you want to connect to.

[Note] Note

You must already have a connected system configured in your On-prem agent to establish a connection to the HTTP Agent modules in Boost.space Integrator.

  1. Log in to your Boost.space Integrator account, add the HTTP Agent module with the desired authorization type to your scenario, and click Create a Connection.

  2. Optional: In the Connection Name field, enter a name for the connection.

  3. In the Connected System dropdown, select the relevant connected system from your On-prem agent.

    [Tip] Tip

    You can always check which connected system is associated with the specific On-prem agent in the On-prem agents section, on the Organization dashboard.

  4. Depending on the HTTP Agent module you have selected, input the following:

    Module

    Field

    Input

    Make a Request

    –

    –

    Make an API Key Auth Request

    API Key

    Paste your API key from the 3rd party account of the connected system you chose. Refer to the specific system’s documentation on how to generate an API key.

    Placement

    Select whether the API key will be placed as a header or as a query parameter.

    API Key Parameter Name

    Enter a name for the API key parameter.

    Make a Basic Auth Request

    Username

    Enter your account username for your 3rd party account of the connected system you chose.

    Password

    Enter your account password for your 3rd party account of the connected system you chose.

  5. Click Save.

You have successfully established the connection. You can now edit your scenario and add more HTTP Agent modules. If your connection requires reauthorization at any point, follow the connection renewal steps here.

Use HTTP Agent Modules

With HTTP Agent Modules in Boost.space Integrator, you can send HTTP(S) requests to specified URLs, including those that require Basic Auth and API Key Auth authorizations, and process the responses.

Make a Request

Send an HTTP(S) request to a specified URL and process the response. The received HTTP(S) response is then contained in the output bundle.

Connection

Establish a connection to HTTP Agent.

URL

Enter the connected system request URL.

Method

Select or map the HTTP method you want to use:

GET to retrieve information for an entry.

HEAD to retrieve headers.

POST to create an entry.

PUT to update/replace an existing entry.

PATCH to make a partial entry update.

DELETE to delete an entry.

OPTIONS to retrieve communication options.

Headers

Enter or map desired request headers. For example, an authorization.

By default, the request does not contain the Accept header. If an unexpected response is returned, try adding the Accept: */* header.

Query String

Enter or map the desired query key-value pairs.

Body Type

Raw

The Raw body type is suitable for most HTTP requests, even if the service documentation does not specify the data type.

Specify a form of parsing the data in the Content Type field.

Despite the Content Type selected, data is entered in any format that is stipulated or required by the developer documentation.

Content Type

Map or select an option to set the Content-Type request headers.

If you select the Custom option, a field will populate to enter a Custom Content-Type Value.

Request Content

Enter the Body request content in the JSON format. You can use the JSON > Create JSON module or enter the JSON content manually.

Application/x-www-form-urlencoded

This body type is to POST data using application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

For application/x-www-form-urlencoded, the body of the HTTP message sent to the server is one query string. The keys and values are encoded in key-value pairs separated by & and with a = between the key and the value. Not suitable to use with binary data (use multipart/form-data instead).

Example of the resulting HTTP request format: field1=value1&field2=value2

Form Fields

Add or map form fields.

Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded header is added automatically.

Parse Response

Enable this option to automatically parse responses and convert JSON responses so you don’t need to use the JSON > Parse JSON module.

Note: Before you can use parsed content, run the module once manually so that the module can recognize the response content and allow you to map it in subsequent modules.

Make an API Key Auth Request

Send an HTTP(S) request to a specified URL that requires API Key Auth authorization and process the response. The received HTTP(S) response is then contained in the output bundle.

Connection

Establish a connection to HTTP Agent.

URL

Enter the connected system request URL.

Method

Select or map the HTTP method you want to use:

GET to retrieve information for an entry.

HEAD to retrieve headers.

POST to create an entry.

PUT to update/replace an existing entry.

PATCH to make a partial entry update.

DELETE to delete an entry.

OPTIONS to retrieve communication options.

Headers

Enter or map desired request headers. For example, an authorization.

By default, the request does not contain the Accept header. If an unexpected response is returned, try adding the Accept: */* header.

Query String

Enter or map the desired query key-value pairs.

Body Type

The Raw body type is suitable for most HTTP requests, even if the service documentation does not specify the data type.

Specify a form of parsing the data in the Content Type field.

Application/x-www-form-urlencoded

This body type is to POST data using application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

For application/x-www-form-urlencoded, the body of the HTTP message sent to the server is one query string. The keys and values are encoded in key-value pairs separated by & and with a = between the key and the value. Not suitable to use with binary data (use multipart/form-data instead).

Example of the resulting HTTP request format: field1=value1&field2=value2

Form Fields

Add or map form fields.

Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded header is added automatically.

Parse Response

Enable this option to automatically parse responses and convert JSON responses so you don’t need to use the JSON > Parse JSON module.

Note: Before you can use parsed content, run the module once manually so that the module can recognize the response content and allow you to map it in subsequent modules.

Timeout

Specify the request timeout in seconds (1-300). Default: 300 seconds.

This value controls two timeouts: Read timeout and Connection timeout. Read timeout is a time to wait for a server to send response headers (and start the response body) before aborting the request. Connection timeout sets the socket to timeout after timeout milliseconds of inactivity.

Make a Basic Auth Request

Send an HTTP(S) request to a specified URL that requires Basic Auth authorization and process the response. The received HTTP(S) response is then contained in the output bundle.

Connection

Establish a connection to HTTP Agent.

URL
