# cURL for GitHub Action

You can use this action to perform REST API requests, using the [axios](https://github.com/axios/axios) module.

# Usage

```yaml
name: Example of cURL action

on: [push]
jobs:
test-curl-action:
name: "Perform REST API request"
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: "Call API"
uses: indiesdev/curl@v1.1
with:
# The target URL
# Required: true if custom-config is not set
url: https://reqres.in/api/users

# The request method, basically it's one of GET|POST|PUT|PATCH
# Default is GET
method: "POST"

# List of response status codes to be accepted, else it will set the job to be failed
# If more than one value is needed, you can use comma (,) as separator
# In this case if the response status code is not one of 200, 201 and 204, the job will be failed
# Default is 200,201,204
accept: 200,201,204

# Headers can be passed through with a json object string
headers: '{ "custom-header": "value" }'

# Params can be passed through with a json object string
params: '{ "param1": "value", "param2": "value2" }'

# Body request
# Apply only to POST|PUT request
body: '{ "name": "breeze", "job": "devops" }'

# Request timeout (millisec)
# Default: 1000
timeout: 1000

# Basic authentication using username and password
# This will override the Authorization header, for example Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l
# Format => username:password as base 64
basic-auth-token: ${{ secrets.curl_auth_token }}

# The authentication using token
# This will override the Authorization header, for example Authorization: Bearer QWxhZGRpbjpPcGVuU2VzYW1l
bearer-token: ${{ secrets.bearer_token }}

# If you want to use proxy with the request, you can use proxy-url
# Format => host:port
proxy-url: https://proxy-url:3000

# If the proxy host requires authentication, you can use proxy-auth to pass credentials
# Format => username:password as base64
proxy-auth-token: ${{ secrets.proxy_auth_token }}

# If it is set to true, it will show the response log in the GitHub UI
# Default: false
log-response: false

# The number of attempts before giving up
# Default: 1
retries: 3

# If you want to use axios config directly, you can pass a config file to the action
# The file is just basically a json file that has the same format as axios config https://github.com/axios/axios#request-config
# If this input is set, it will ignore other inputs related to the config
# The path file is relative to the root directory of the repo
custom-config: .github/workflows/curl-config.json
```

# Response object

```javascript
{
// `data` is the response that was provided by the server
"data": {},

// `status` is the HTTP status code from the server response
"status": 200,

// `headers` the HTTP headers that the server responded with
// All header names are lower cased and can be accessed using the bracket notation.
// Example: `response.headers['content-type']`
"headers": {},

}

```
