This was a really helpful presentation. I've used Postman somewhat, but am just getting into translating that to a pipeline. Authentication is where I've had the most problems. Does anyone have any tips on that? It seems like the API documentation for the various websites can be pretty difficult to understand. How do you know the best method to choose (if various options are available)? And how do you translate that to the pipeline? For instance, how did you know you needed to add "Authorization Bearer"?
Anyway, got some really helpful tips and am looking forward to playing around.
If you mean HTTP methods, I always try GET first if it's a simple call -- GET is usually simple enough to test with your browser, because you are just messing with a URL and some query parameters. I go to POST for more complex needs where JSON is passed. Regarding a POST coming into pipelines, during my integration of ZOHO with QB I tried to place some variables in the POST headers (I was essentially trying to cheat and treat POST like GET) but found that pipelines did not easily find those. So I ended up putting them in a JSON body and (once pipelines had seen a sample JSON) it worked like a champ.
