NOTE
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Workfront Fusion requires an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Workfront Fusion license in addition to an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Workfront license.

The ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Workfront Fusion HTTP app provides various modules for communication based on Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) protocol. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web. You can use the modules to download web pages and files, call webhooks and API endpoints, and so on.

The right choice of the module depends on the authentication/ authorization mechanism the resource you want to access employs. The following are examples of modules

  • Make a request:universal module primarily intended for resources not employing any type of authentication/ authorization
  • Make a Basic Auth request:for resources employing HTTP Basic authentication (BA)
  • Make a OAuth 2.0 request: for resources employing OAuth 2.0 authorization protocol
  • Make a Client Certificate Auth request: for resources employing authorization protocol that requires a client-side certificate.
  • Make an API Key authorization request: for resources employing API Keys for authorization.
NOTE
If you are connecting to an ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ product that does not currently have a dedicated connector, we recommend using the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Authenticator module.
For more information, see ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Authenticator module.
