http headers

[bad...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to get data from Node-RED into Ubidots. Their API uses authentication tokens as part of the http request, i.e. via curl you'd do something like this

curl -i --header "Accept: application/json; indent=4" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "X-Auth-Token: feiKTtrk8oyB7eTrMYOxitZN6srlzXrs6LTNYt0SSkH6C3f1JNSS7eZJoYxF" -X POST -d '{"value":22}' http://things.ubidots.com/api/v1.6/variables/51f153f720e1e3713c0f048f/values

(http://ubidots.com/docs/get_started/index.html)

Is it possible to use 'the http' request node for this sort of application? I.e., how/where would I set Content-Type and X-Auth-Token?

Hi Boris,

as per the docs for the node, you can use the 'headers' property of the message to set custom header properties.

For example, in a Function node:

    msg.headers = {

        'Content-Type' : 'application/json',

        'X-Auth-Token' : 'fei......'

    }

Cheers,

Nick
