Hi,

Manually I am accessing the url and entering API Key and clicking on API call hyperlink and on Try Out button.

By seeing the code 200 I am confirming that API call is getting connected,

I have to automate this using Power Automate Desktop.

Please share your inputs to achieve the same.

Regards,

Sudheer

Have you tried using the Invoke web service action in PAD? It's specifically designed for the purpose.

But the exact way in which to pass the key and send the request depends on the specific API endpoint. You'll need to share more details of that. Preferably some sort of a documentation or a sample request suggested by the service provider.

The API key is usually provided as a custom header. There is no special field for that in the Invoke web service action, because every API endpoint expects different headers. You probably just need to add "api_key: {YourAPIKeyHere}" to the custom headers field.
