# API Request — AliExpress Affiliates

Botize method — `aliexpress_associates.api_request` (action).

Make a request to any AliExpress endpoint.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `method` *(string, one of: "get" = GET; "post" = POST; "put" = PUT; "delete" = DELETE)* — Method
- `url` *(string)* — Your URL
- `headers` *(string)* — Headers
- `body_type` *(string, one of: "none" = none; "form-data" = form-data; "json" = json; "raw" = raw, default: "none")* — Body
- `body_raw` *(string)*
- `tracking_id` *(string)* — Tracking Id
- `mb_outputvars_switch` *(boolean)* — Customize tags

It also accepts repeatable field groups, with these prefixes: `query_params_key_*`, `query_params_value_*`, `query_params_description_*`, `body_params_key_*`, `body_params_value_*`, `body_params_description_*`. These are composite components (buttons, filters, keyboards); the trailing number is set by the user as they are added.

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{http_code}}` *(int)* — HTTP Code
- `{{http_response}}` *(array)* — HTTP Response
