Send an HTTP request (call an API) in RunMacro

What it does

The HTTP Request command sends a GET or POST to an API (with headers and body if needed), then stores the response in a variable. It can filter the response with regex to grab the needed part (e.g. an OTP).

When to use it

Fetch an OTP/data from a service API.
Send data to a webhook/endpoint.
Integrate an API call into an automation workflow.

Configuration steps

Add a Network › HTTP Request command.
Choose the method (GET/POST), enter the URL, and optional headers and body.
Set the result variable.
(Optional) enable regex filter and enter a pattern. Save.

Every option explained

Method + URL

GET or POST and the API address. Variables allowed in the URL.

Headers + Body

Headers one per line as Key: Value; Body sent with POST. Variables allowed.

Result variable

The variable holding the response (or the regex-filtered part).

Regex filter + group

Enable to extract the needed part from the response via regex; choose the group.

Timeout (ms)

Max time to wait for a response.

Real example

Example: fetch an OTP from an API then fill it

HTTP Request GET to the OTP API URL.
Enable regex \d{6} → variable otp.
Use {otp} to fill the code field.
