HTTP API (Osmos Calls Your API)

Overview
There are two modes of operation for this connector. Either Osmos will call your API, or Osmos can generate an API for you to call. Put another way, either you have an API endpoint created, or you want Osmos to create an API endpoint for you. These two modes will be referred to as Osmos Calls Your API and Call an Osmos API respectively. This page is for the former. To see documentation on the latter, see HTTP API (Call an Osmos API).
This Destination Connector will send data to a specified third party API.
Types of APIs Supported
This is not a Postman or curl replacement -- the scope of HTTP requests that Osmos will create are limited. Generalized authentication handshakes, forwarding data from a previous API request to the next one, and non-HTTP (TCP, FTP, Telnet) are  not supported by this connector.
Example Use Cases
For example, let's say you have an API which is used to send notifications to your users. You'd like to notify all users every morning of all new records in a specific Google Sheet. You've created your Google Sheets source connector and now you're working on the destination connector. You have an authentication token that you use to prevent anybody from sending notifications to your users.
In this scenario, you would want to create an HTTP API connector. You'll use the POST method, most likely, to send data to this endpoint. In the headers, you'll put the authentication token. As the destination connector, whenever the pipeline it is associated with is run, the connector can either send every individual record as a separate API call; or, it can send the entire pipeline run as a single API request containing an array of records.
Creating an HTTP API Destination Connector
Step 1: Click New Connector.
Step 2: Under the System prompt, click HTTP API.
Step 3: Provide a Connector Name.
Step 4: Select Destination Connector.
Step 5: Select Osmos Calls Your API
API URL
Specify the URL, including the port number if any, of the API that Osmos should be sending data to. For example, this could be http://example.com/api/v2:8824
HTTP Method
Select the HTTP Method that Osmos should use when sending the data to this API. 
HTTP Headers
Specify the headers, if any, that Osmos should be using to send data to this API. Headers are often used for authentication, authorization, or declarations of what type of content you're sending. Headers have both a Name and a Value. For example, an authorization header might look like:
Name: Authorization 
Value: qaX1SrppzSe1Y1qOOc08
Write Options
Choose how data are sent to your external API. If "Batched as an array of records" is selected, we send up to 250,000 records in a json array as the request body. If "Send one record at a time" is selected, we send each record as JSON obj as its own request.

If you select to call your api in batches, you can choose how we respond to a failed request to the API. By default, we mark all those records as failed in our product. If you check "Resend failed batches in smaller chunks", we will divvy up the batch into increasingly smaller batches and resend them to the API until the chunk either succeeds or it fails when the chunk is one message in size.
Building the Schema for the JSON Body of the Request
Parameter
Description
Field Name
Provide a field name for the output fields. These names will be used as the column names for the source data you send to this API.
Type
Define the type of each field. The field types will be used to enforce rules when you send data to this API.
Nullable
Check this box if the field is nullable. If the field is not nullable, you will be required to provide values for this field when sending data to this API.
Delete
Deletes the Field

Step 1: Click Add Field for each additional field required in the schema.

Step 2: Select Create Schema once you have built the schema. 
The schema cannot be changed after saving the Destination Connector, so please confirm it is accurate before proceeding.
