Good day everyone

So if someone can help me with Shelly API etc.

In POSTMAN I can get my results when I follow the SHELLY API Instructions.

How can I translate that into NODERED FLOW.

Where do I put the values?

See the [cookbook in the documentation](https://cookbook.nodered.org/http/set-request-header), shows how to set the header and post body.

I use the Shelly local MQTT capabilities rather than Shelly cloud.

Unfortunately I have to use the cloud.

I just need a place to put in the AUTH KEY & DEVICE ID to get the status of the device?

I dont know if i am missing something here, but you can access the state of the shell device using `node-red-contrib-shelly`

```

under the hood, this uses http methods direct to the device & yes, mine are cloud connected (not using MQTT)
