Create the Integration Procedure with the HTTP Action

After you configure NASA as a Remote Site and get a NASA API key, you can create and run the example Integration Procedure, which retrieves the astronomy picture of the day.

1. Add an HTTP Action component.
2. Configure the HTTP Action component with these settings:

   Property	Value
   HTTP Path	https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod
   HTTP Method	GET
   REST OPTIONS: Add Parameter	Key: api_key Value: %ApiKey%

3. Add a Response Action component into the Structure panel below the HTTP Action, and configure it with these settings:

   Property	Value
   Send JSON Path	HTTPAction1
   Send JSON Node	PictureInfo

4. Edit the input JSON, adding the key ApiKey and your API key as the value.
5. Click Execute. The output is similar to this example:

For example, during the June 21st solar eclipse this confusing display appeared under a shady bamboo grove in Pune, India. Small gaps between close knit leaves on the tall plants effectively created a network of randomly placed pinholes. Each one projected a separate image of the eclipsed Sun. The snapshot was taken close to the time of maximum eclipse in Pune when the Moon covered about 60 percent of the Sun's diameter. But an annular eclipse, the Moon in silhouette completely surrounded by a bright solar disk at maximum, could be seen along a narrow path where the Moon's dark shadow crossed central Africa, south Asia, and Ch",
