Hello ..

In the http-request node's help window it mentions how to replace parts of the URL with a msg property

> if the url is set to `example.com/{{{topic}}}`, it will have the value of `msg.topic` automatically inserted. Using {{{...}}} prevents mustache from escaping characters like / & etc.

So based on your screenshot .. you dont need `msg.` infront of `edsId`
