NOTE:

Create a [API Call](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/connections/services/api-call) [Connection](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/connections) and use the [Execute API Call](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/execute-api-call) 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](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/block-anatomy#value-parameters) that accepts a [*text*](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/references/value-types) value representing the URL where you want the request to be sent.
* *Success Tasks*: a [Flow Parameter](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/block-anatomy#flow-parameters) where you connect blocks that specify what you want done when the operation completes successfully. The [HTTP Data](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/http-data) block can be used to access the output (if any).
* *Fail Tasks*: a [Flow Parameter](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/block-anatomy#flow-parameters) where you connect blocks that specify what you want done when the operation reports an error. The [HTTP Error](https://docs.zingy.ai/app-editor/page-flow/toolbox-blocks/http-error) block can be used to access the error information.
