HI,

I just need to create a simple HTTP request from my button action. This used to be enabled in legacy plans, but now my understanding is that I need to switch to business plan to have CALL API.

I am an individual who is making app for an individual use with free or maker plan and really switching to business plan is not an option.

Am I wrong or I can still issue HTTP request from lower tier plans? Can this be done through integrations or?

As always, thanks for help

There are a few options, depending on what you need to do with the data:

- One is Trigger Webhook to Make or Zapier and make the request from there
- Another could be the Get Webpage Source column
- And yet another could be a JavaScript column using `await fetch()`

Hola Darko,

As Darren mentioned you earlier, one of options is use the JavaScript column, your code could look like this:

```auto
var response = await fetch('https://yesno.wtf/api')
const result= await response.text();      
return result

```

but there are some security warnings that you need to consider. Here we talked about it [https://community.glideapps.com/t/fetching-with-a-javascript-column](https://community.glideapps.com/t/fetching-with-a-javascript-column)

Saludos!
