A Step Functions Task to call a public third-party API.

Import

import { HttpInvoke } from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions-tasks';

Or use the module namespace:

import * as stepfunctions_tasks from 'aws-cdk-lib/aws-stepfunctions-tasks';
// stepfunctions_tasks.HttpInvoke

Properties

Configuration passed to the constructor as HttpInvokeProps.

apiEndpointRequired
TaskInput

The API endpoint to call, relative to `apiRoot`.

apiRootRequired
string

Permissions are granted to call all resources under this path.

connectionRequired
IConnection

The EventBridge Connection to use for authentication.

methodRequired
TaskInput

The HTTP method to use.

bodyOptional
TaskInput

The body to send to the HTTP endpoint.

Default: - No body is sent with the request.

headersOptional
TaskInput

The headers to send to the HTTP endpoint.

Default: - No additional headers are added to the request.

queryStringParametersOptional
TaskInput

The query string parameters to send to the HTTP endpoint.

Default: - No query string parameters are sent in the request.

urlEncodingFormatOptional
URLEncodingFormat

Determines whether to apply URL encoding to the request body, and which array encoding format to use. `URLEncodingFormat.NONE` passes the JSON-serialized `RequestBody` field as the HTTP request body.

Default: - URLEncodingFormat.NONE

2 properties inherited from TaskStateBaseProps
resultPathOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseProps
string

JSONPath expression to indicate where to inject the state's output. May also be the special value JsonPath.DISCARD, which will cause the state's input to become its output.

Default: $

resultSelectorOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseProps
{ [key: string]: any }

The JSON that will replace the state's raw result and become the effective result before ResultPath is applied. You can use ResultSelector to create a payload with values that are static or selected from the state's raw result.

Default: - None

3 properties inherited from StateBaseProps
commentOptionalinherited from StateBaseProps
string

A comment describing this state.

Default: No comment

queryLanguageOptionalinherited from StateBaseProps
QueryLanguage

The name of the query language used by the state. If the state does not contain a `queryLanguage` field, then it will use the query language specified in the top-level `queryLanguage` field.

Default: - JSONPath

stateNameOptionalinherited from StateBaseProps
string

Optional name for this state.

Default: - The construct ID will be used as state name

6 properties inherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
credentialsOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Credentials

Credentials for an IAM Role that the State Machine assumes for executing the task. This enables cross-account resource invocations.

Default: - None (Task is executed using the State Machine's execution role)

heartbeatOptionalDeprecatedinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Duration

Timeout for the heartbeat.

Default: - None

Deprecated: use `heartbeatTimeout`

heartbeatTimeoutOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Timeout

Timeout for the heartbeat. [disable-awslint:duration-prop-type] is needed because all props interface in aws-stepfunctions-tasks extend this interface

Default: - None

integrationPatternOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
IntegrationPattern

AWS Step Functions integrates with services directly in the Amazon States Language. You can control these AWS services using service integration patterns. Depending on the AWS Service, the Service Integration Pattern availability will vary.

Default: - `IntegrationPattern.REQUEST_RESPONSE` for most tasks. `IntegrationPattern.RUN_JOB` for the following exceptions: `BatchSubmitJob`, `EmrAddStep`, `EmrCreateCluster`, `EmrTerminationCluster`, and `EmrContainersStartJobRun`.

taskTimeoutOptionalinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Timeout

Timeout for the task. [disable-awslint:duration-prop-type] is needed because all props interface in aws-stepfunctions-tasks extend this interface

Default: - None

timeoutOptionalDeprecatedinherited from TaskStateBaseOptions
Duration

Timeout for the task.

Default: - None

Deprecated: use `taskTimeout`

1 property inherited from AssignableStateOptions
assignOptionalinherited from AssignableStateOptions
{ [key: string]: any }

Workflow variables to store in this step. Using workflow variables, you can store data in a step and retrieve that data in future steps.

Default: - Not assign variables

2 properties inherited from JsonPathCommonOptions
inputPathOptionalinherited from JsonPathCommonOptions
string

JSONPath expression to select part of the state to be the input to this state. May also be the special value JsonPath.DISCARD, which will cause the effective input to be the empty object {}.

Default: $

outputPathOptionalinherited from JsonPathCommonOptions
string

JSONPath expression to select part of the state to be the output to this state. May also be the special value JsonPath.DISCARD, which will cause the effective output to be the empty object {}.

Default: $

1 property inherited from JsonataCommonOptions
outputsOptionalinherited from JsonataCommonOptions
any

Used to specify and transform output from the state. When specified, the value overrides the state output default. The output field accepts any JSON value (object, array, string, number, boolean, null). Any string value, including those inside objects or arrays, will be evaluated as JSONata if surrounded by {% %} characters. Output also accepts a JSONata expression directly.

Default: - $states.result or $states.errorOutput
