When I click view source in iexplorer, it starts such a query and I can see the value in its payload.
How do i that query with node-red

set the same headers in the request.

Thks for express answer
I was established device with your support
By the way;
When i click the parameter it is requested from the value [https://x.x.x.x/data/bulk/](https://x.x.x.x/data/bulk/) path. When I normally call to this path with iexplorer, it downloads a hollow bulk.json file. How can I make this request
Regards

Use the post method & look at what value is sent in the request. Ps, using chrome it is much clearer what is happening.

Thank you Steve
For your suggestion chrome was very helpful. But I am getting a fetch error in the function node. I think will be add the necessary require to my settings.js file for this issue.But which line in settings.js

First, fetch is a client side thing & function nodes run server-side (in nodejs)
Second, the http request node does what fetch does.
The cookbook entry I linked to shows you how to do a request with headers.
