{% hint style="danger" %}
NOTE:

Create a [API Call](/app-editor/connections/services/api-call.md) [Connection](/app-editor/connections.md) and use the [Execute API Call](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/execute-api-call.md) block instead, if any of the following apply:

* Sensitive or secret information needs to be sent as part of the *URL*.
* The server you want to communicate with requires setting specific HTTP headers and or use authentication.
  {% endhint %}

The block consists of the following (from top to bottom):

* *URL:* [Value Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types.md) value representing the URL where you want the request to be sent.
* *Success Tasks*: a [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) where you connect blocks that specify what you want done when the operation completes successfully. The [HTTP Data](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/http-data.md) block can be used to access the output (if any).
* *Fail Tasks*: a [Flow Parameter](/app-editor/page-flow/block-anatomy.md#flow-parameters) where you connect blocks that specify what you want done when the operation reports an error. The [HTTP Error](/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/http-error.md) block can be used to access the error information.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/http-get.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
