A Real Example: Creating a GitHub Issue

You want to create a GitHub issue programmatically. Looking at GitHub's API documentation:

• Method: POST
• Endpoint: https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues
• Authentication: Bearer token (your GitHub personal access token)
• Body: JSON with title, body, labels, etc.

In your HTTP module:

Method: POST

URL: https://api.github.com/repos/mycompany/myrepo/issues

Headers:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN
Content-Type: application/json
Accept: application/vnd.github+json

Body:

{
  "title": "Bug: Login page crashes on mobile",
  "body": "Description of the issue here",
  "labels": ["bug", "high-priority"]
}

When executed, GitHub creates the issue and returns:

{
  "id": 123456,
  "number": 42,
  "title": "Bug: Login page crashes on mobile",
  "html_url": "https://github.com/mycompany/myrepo/issues/42",
  "state": "open"
}

You can now map these values into subsequent steps — maybe send a message to Slack with the issue URL, or log it to a spreadsheet.
