To use REST APIs in the Nintex Workflow?

Call HTTP Web Service Web Request

• Calls a web service, such as REST

• Can not impersonate user

• Need to use App Step

• Send an HTTP request to a URL

• Can pass User Name and Passwords

• Perform a variety of requests, including GET, POST, PUT, SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, and customized request methods

• Can call ASMX web services

If you want to do

this to an

endpoint

Use this

HTTP

request

Keep in Mind

Read a resource GET

Create or update a

resource

POST • Use POST to create entities such as lists

and sites.

• For POST operations, any properties that

are not required are set to their default

values.

Update or insert a

resource

PUT • Use PUT and MERGE operations to

update existing SharePoint objects.

Delete a resource DELETE • Use the HTTP DELETE command against

the specific endpoint URL to delete the

SharePoint object represented by that

endpoint.

• In the case of recyclable objects, such as

lists, files, and list items, this results in a

Recycle operation.
