Hey gliders! I need to open a link to start API integration. The service i am calling asked to request it by the cURL format request in its documentation (there are also PHP and Phyton methods). I copied that cURL to my column in GS and use by Open Link actions. There is an error unfortunately. { “type” : “error”, “id” : “602597d6-de52-47e6-89d5-b26b93189a59”, “code” : “invalid\_request”, “description” : “Request sent for an endpoint with no processor” } So the question is could we use cURL format to open a link, or we need to transform cURL to GET format first? If we need to use only GET to open a link in Glide, how we could to convert cURL into GET? Thank you very much in advance) ---

Another way - How could we open a link by Glide if it stored in a cURL (multi line) format? - not in GET (one line) format. ---

Are you trying to do just GET? Can we have an example of how they’re trying to tell you to use cURL to do a GET request? ---

Ya…this sounds like the use of a webhook or an HTTP module in Integromat… ---

Thank you very much, Robert! 🙏 I’ve thinked only way to open a link is “Open Link” Action, but seems it can use just a GET method. And after your post i hope will found another ways to open link with another methods. Running to do this) 🖐 🚴‍♂️ ---

Can you show which API you want to work with? You might be able to use the [Fetch JSON](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/fetch) plugin. ---

ThinDinh, thank you for your reply. They have a documentation, and it describe the POST method should be used, aka ![2022-01-20_07-10-07](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/5/2577ef456cbfe867d75df0813bc536657c633281.png) Also their Support answered the GET method is not applicable. ---

Thank you very much 🙏 Darren! Which method do you think work faster Fetch JSON or a Webhook or a HTTP module by Integromat? ---

i think, fetch JSON is pretty fast… and you can use it in google scripts ---

I don’t think you can do POST with the Fetch JSON module, so probably the easiest solution might be a webhook to Integromat, and then use the HTTP module to send the POST request. The other alternative would be Apps Script, as Uzo suggests, but that may be a challenge if you’re not familiar with Apps Script. ---

yes you can… I’m posting links to Stripe using script sorry, not fetch JSON… UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params) ---

Thank you, Uzo 🙏 Unfortunately am not familiar with Google scripts. Will se what would be faster - to use Integromat (i used before for other purpose), or to deep into scripts. Seems the first would be faster. Anyway i will see your way also to keep it in mind next time) ---
