# Legacy HTTP Nodes

{% hint style="warning" %}
These HTTP Nodes are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Please migrate to the Send Http Request functionality described in the [Http Requests](/platform-documentation/creation/unreal-development/features-and-tutorials/web-services/http-requests.md) page
{% endhint %}

There are several HTTP nodes available for use that allow you to make JSON requests to APIs.

The following Blueprint Nodes are available for use:

* Http Get Json
* Http Post Json
* Http Put Json
* Http Patch Json
* Http Delete

All nodes have the following common pins:

* `Url` - target url you are sending the Http request to
* `Auth Context` - local Morpheus Actor/Morpheus Actor Component you wish to use to authenticate the request

And the following output pins are common:

* `On Success` - control flow invoked when the request completed successfully
  * usually with a 200 Status Code
* `On Fail` - control flow invoked when the request failed
* `Status Code` - status code of the HTTP response
  * If zero, we usually had a problem sending the request
* `Json Response` - a Json Object Structure of the data that was returned
  * only valid upon success, and if the API returned JSON data

If you expand the node's properties, you get access to more advanced options:

* `Headers` - a String-String Map of additional headers to add to the request
* `Scope` - Adds any MSquared scoping headers
* `Include Delegated Auth Token` - See [Authentication](#authentication)
* `Retry Settings` - Settings related to automatically retrying requests that fail with a potentially transient error (e.g. 504: Gateway Timeout)
  * The retry settings includes configuration of how it should retry requests (if `Enabled`).
  * `MaxAttempts` - The number of retries before giving up. (If < 0, will treat as unlimited retries)
  * The retries use an exponential backoff with jitter approach, where it will wait randomly between `BackoffInterval` and `MaxBackoffInterval` for each retry, increasing the average wait timefor each attempt..
* `Max Redirect Count` - The maximum number of redirects that are allowed for this request.

### Http Get Json

<figure><img src="/files/cvgSHB31PaL89dyjXvj4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This node issues a simple GET request to a URL and parses the result as JSON.

### Http Post/Put/Patch Json

<figure><img src="/files/4w3lJEgct2C9qLsWcQfG" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

These nodes are used to send data to a URL as JSON.

They each have a "Json" input pin that accepts a Json Object Structure.

If the API returns a JSON response it will be present on the Json Response pin.

### Http Delete

<figure><img src="/files/RkIuZMqqcAyLxy33lbCX" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This node issues a DELETE request to the url. It it not normal for a response to be returned.

### Urls

A url is a full https url for an external site. It cannot be any other scheme, eg: http, ws, ftp, etc - these will cause the request to fail.

### Authentication

When you provide an Auth Context to any of the nodes, you are providing a hint that the request requires authentication.

#### External APIs

If you are calling your own API you can require that a Delegated Auth Token is provided with the request. This token allows your external service to validate the identity of the caller as an MSquared user.

See the section on [Validating Identity](/platform-documentation/creation/unreal-development/features-and-tutorials/web-services/validating-identity.md) for more information.

#### Custom Authentication

If you need to use a custom authentication scheme, such as Basic auth or provide your own credentials. You can do this by adding your own headers to the request.

<figure><img src="/files/skF0F9qCAWx09M5Qfc9A" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To do this, you will need to make a Map of String/String and populate it with your own header values. Typically, you would use the key of `Authorization` for auth headers. The credentials you provide will depend completely on the api you are calling.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Be careful about embedding credentials into Blueprints as they will be available to anyone with your content. Storing your own credentials securely is out of scope of this tutorial.
{% endhint %}

### Scoping

If you add a Scope option the nodes will apply HTTP headers allow you to identify the current context in which the metaverse is running.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need to know this, it is recommended that you select the **World** scope, as it contains the most useful information.
{% endhint %}

The following additional headers are added to the request:

<table><thead><tr><th width="296">Scope</th><th>Headers</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>None</td><td>N/A</td><td>No extra headers are applied</td></tr><tr><td>Organization</td><td>x-m2-organization-id</td><td>Applies the current Organization Id of the Metaverse</td></tr><tr><td>Project</td><td><p>x-m2-organization-id</p><p>x-m2-project-id</p></td><td>Applies the current Organization Id and Project Id of the Metaverse</td></tr><tr><td>World</td><td><p>x-m2-organization-id</p><p>x-m2-project-id</p><p>x-m2-world-id</p></td><td>Applies the current Organization Id, Project Id and World Id of the Metaverse</td></tr><tr><td>Launch Context</td><td><p>x-m2-organization-id</p><p>x-m2-project-id</p><p>x-m2-launch-context-id</p></td><td><strong>Deprecated</strong><br><br>Applies the current Organization Id, Project Id and Launch Context Id of the Metaverse</td></tr></tbody></table>

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.otherside.xyz/platform-documentation/creation/unreal-development/features-and-tutorials/web-services/http-requests/http-json-nodes.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
