# HTTP Request Action
|
|
|
|
**Create HTTP Requests from GitHub Actions.** This action allows GitHub events to engage with tools like Ansible AWX that use HTTP APIs.
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
```yaml
|
|
jobs:
|
|
deployment:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Deploy Stage
|
|
uses: fjogeleit/http-request-action@v1
|
|
with:
|
|
url: 'https://ansible.io/api/v2/job_templates/84/launch/'
|
|
method: 'POST'
|
|
username: ${{ secrets.AWX_USER }}
|
|
password: ${{ secrets.AWX_PASSWORD }}
|
|
customHeaders: '{"Content-Type": "application/json"}'
|
|
data: '{"key_1": "value_1", "key_2": "value_2"}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Versioning
|
|
|
|
`master` branch is deprecated. Please use `main` or `v1` to get the latest version of this action. It is recommended to use a fixed version.

### Response
|
|
|
|
| Variable | Description |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
`response` | Response as JSON String
|
|
`headers` | Headers
|
|
`status` | HTTP status message
|
|
|
|
To display HTTP response data in the GitHub Actions log give the request an `id` and access its `outputs`. You can also access specific field from the response data using [fromJson()](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/expressions#fromjson) expression.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- name: Make Request
|
|
id: myRequest
|
|
uses: fjogeleit/http-request-action@v1
|
|
with:
|
|
url: "http://yoursite.com/api"
|
|
- name: Show Response
|
|
run: |
|
|
echo ${{ steps.myRequest.outputs.response }}
|
|
echo ${{ steps.myRequest.outputs.headers }}
|
|
echo ${{ steps.myRequest.outputs.status }}
|
|
echo ${{ fromJson(steps.myRequest.outputs.response).field_you_want_to_access }}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Additional Information
|
|
|
|
Additional information is available if debug logging is enabled:
|
|
- Instance Configuration (Url / Timeout / Headers)
|
|
- Request Data (Body / Auth / Method)
|
|
|
|
To [enable debug logging in GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/enabling-debug-logging) create a secret `ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG` with a value of `true`
|
