Hi Everyone,

I need to get data from a website.

I do have a their url to download data, user name, password and API key.

But not sure where to enter all these information.

I have put url in text input but after that  I am not getting any prompt to put other information.

Need your help.

Please let me know where to put API key and User name and Password so that I can download data.

Thanks!

The data is actually in the DownloadData field.

You'll need to parse out the data. For example, you can use the text to columns to split the data into rows, regex, etc.

Hi, Another question is that data is secured and is available by using API key only. Where to put API key in the workflow.

Thanks!

hi @irajesh2017 

You have to check the documentation ofthe  API 

So you can put the data in different ways:

1. Can be write the variables like this, you have to chose if it a post or a get (it depends what you want to do)

Another way is concatening the variables to the url, it depends in the way the API receives de info

You have to check the documentation and there should be an example that you can follow
