When using graphql APIs, if there are graphql variables involved in the api call, where do we include them in the http request activity?

Hi @SS-user

You can use the variables in the request body as part of the JSON payload in HTTP Request activity.

Hope it helps you to understand.

Let us clear / baselining terms:

graphql variables:
Example:

query getPet($pet_name: String!) {
    pet(name: $pet_name) {
        name
        color
        species
    }
}

so, we can identify the GrapQLvariable as it starts with dollar sign

Http can handle variables via Get Or Post / Forms or within Body Payload

So it depends on the call details how to provide.

Bringing dynamics into the HTTP Request calls we have the common options of:

  • bringing UiPath Variables into
    • Arguments / Parameters
    • Payload constructions
    • …
