Overview

A filtered request allows you to narrow down the data you’re asking for. This is useful when you're dealing with a database or service with a lot of data.

Scenario

Instead of pulling a full list of addresses, only ask for US-based addresses.

  1. In the storyboard, pull in an HTTP Request Action.

  2. Name the action something relevant, like “Get US Addresses.”

  3. Delete the Payload section of the action.

  4. For the URL of the action, type https://fakerapi.it/api/v2/addresses?_country_code=US. Notice how we are filtering the request to only pull US addresses.

  5. Change the Method of the action to GET.

  6. Click Run to run the action.

  7. See the results in the action’s Events panel!
