REST API Credential

4min

You can utilize PROCESIO to send requests and establish connections with the APIs you are working with. PROCESIO enables you to send requests that retrieve, add, delete, and update data, and containing parameters, authorization details, and any necessary body data.

During the process of credential creation, the default verb that is preconfigured for testing purposes is limited to "GET" only. This restriction is in place to ensure that data manipulation is avoided when conducting simple tests. However, when utilizing the credential in a Call API action within a process, you have the flexibility to specify the required verb for your request, such as "GET," "POST," "PUT," "PATCH," or "DELETE."
