Choose Http Post node

[zamzon]

Hi

I need to make an HTTP POST call, but I'm not quite sure which node to use and where to put my information

I need to make a POST call to http://ubisys-g1-2836/api/v1/devices/d9/e1/Light/OnOff/OnState/

Header value:
The header key "Authorization" with the following value "bearer ocnzAwYT2FvR0IfpwIDqSf5dRJXztIWb7CChkd4blQ4 ="

Body Value:
{"value": false} or {"value": true}

thanks in advance

See HTTP request examples in the cookbook

"Node-RED Cookbook : Node-RED" https://cookbook.nodered.org#http-requests

Thanks.

I cant see how to insert a body in the http request node.

I did try to send a msg.body = {"value": false}; in a function, but that did not work

Read the built in help by selecting the HTTP request node then looking in the right hand side bar book tab. I'm not near a computer but from memory, set msg.payload with your data.

Thanks it worked with msg.payload
