Schemaless Requests

How it works

The connector can be used as an HTTP proxy. You can send schemaless HTTP requests through the sendHttpRequest operation.

mutation SendRawRequest($additionalHeaders: JSON) {
  sendHttpRequest(
    body: { id: 101, title: "Hello world", userId: 10, body: "A test post" }
    method: "post"
    url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
    additionalHeaders: $additionalHeaders
  )
}

# Variables
# {
#   "additionalHeaders": {
#       "X-Test-Header": "bar"
#     }
# }

# Response
# {
#   "data": {
#     "sendHttpRequest": {
#       "body": "A test post",
#       "id": 101,
#       "title": "Hello world",
#       "userId": 10
#     }
#   }
# }

Options

Content-Type

The request body is encoded with application/json content type by default. If you add the Content-Type header in the additionalHeaders argument the connector will try to convert the request body object to the corresponding format:

  • application/json
  • application/xml
  • application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  • multipart/form-data
mutation SendRawRequest($additionalHeaders: JSON) {
  sendHttpRequest(
    body: { id: 101, title: "Hello world", userId: 10, body: "A test post" }
    method: "post"
    url: "http://localhost:1234/posts"
    timeout: 30
    retry: { times: 2, delay: 1000 }
    additionalHeaders: $additionalHeaders
  )
}

# Variables
# {
#   "additionalHeaders": {
#     "Content-Type": "application/xml"
#   }
# }

# Request
# POST https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
#
# <xml><id>101</id><title>Hello world</title><userId>10</userId><body>A test post</body></xml>

Note

If you set application/xml or application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type header but the request body is a string the connector will forward the raw string without converting.

Timeout and Retry

You can specify the timeout in seconds and retry policy in request arguments:

  • timeout: The timeout limit in seconds.
  • retry.times: The number of times to be retried.
  • retry.delay: The delay duration between retries.
  • retry.httpStatus: The list of HTTP statuses the connector will retry on.
mutation SendRawRequest {
  sendHttpRequest(
    method: "get"
    url: "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts"
    timeout: 30
    retry: { times: 2, delay: 1000, httpStatus: [429, 500, 502, 503] }
  )
}
