Calling any API

In this guide, you will learn how to set up an HTTP Fetch action to call any API.

Lindy supports 3,000+ integrations out of the box, but if you have custom APIs you want to call, you can use the HTTP Fetch action.

Setup

To get started, click the plus sign beside Lindies to start building your Lindy.

Click "Start from scratch" to create a new Lindy.

Add a Trigger

Click “select trigger”, then choose which trigger you wanted to use to initiate the workflow.

Add Fetch

Configure the rest of your workflow (if you want additional steps prior to calling an API) or go directly to adding the Fetch action.

Click "Perform an action" to add the HTTP Fetch action.

In the HTTP Fetch settings, specify the Model, URL (you can also reference URL's found in prior actions / outputs), and optional parameters like Method and Body.

If you have any dynamic data you want Lindy to pass, add this as a prompt.

Note: Lindy currently doesn't support custom header configuration.

In the example below, Lindy is sending data to a Zapier Webhook.

The Body of the request uses an "AI Prompt" that instructs Lindy to write a poem about the user information received from the Webhook trigger.

Lindy receives the information from the Webhook Trigger:

And sends the poem to the Zapier webhook using Fetch.

Below, you can see the Raw Body received from Zapier:
