Hi there! I really appreciate your help concerning fetch data from Web APIs, in Airflow I understand this can be done via HTTPSensor, HttpOperator... so, what it would be the equivalent in Prefect?, thanks in advance!

hi @Javier Buitrago - we don't have a specific prebuilt task for making http requests you could implement a task that does this pretty simply with an http client like

httpx

import httpx
from prefect import flow, task

@task
def http_request(method, url, **kwargs):
    with httpx.Client() as client:
        response = client.request(method, url, **kwargs)
        return response.json()

@flow(log_prints=True)
def web_flow():
    data = http_request("GET", "<https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1>")
    print(data)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    web_flow()

thank you for your help @Nate!, yes I have a similar code but I was thinking I was missing something about fetch API data,,,

is

fetch API data

something specific you're talking about or do you just mean fetching data from some API? if the latter, you could replace the

httpx

call with a call to your API of interest

yes Nate, is the last option you say... I need fetch data from an API, which has several security restrictions...

cool! let me know if you need any more help implementing your task in a way that respects your restrictions!

thank you @Nate!
