I was able to successfully perform HTTPPOST using AMPscript with a header, but when I attempted to perform HTTPGET with a header, it is throwing a error. I referred the HTTPGet documentation which says header value cannot be passed.

Can this be done?

You can't set headers in HTTPGet requests using AMPscript. You will need to use SSJS, or a combination of SSJS and AMPscript (if you want to set the retrieved content as an AMPscript variable).

The following code will make an HTTPGet request with a header and set the response as an AMPscript variable:

<script runat="server">

Platform.Load("Core","1");

var url = "https://httpbin.org/anything";
var headerNames = ["Accept"];
var headerValues = ["application/json"];
var response = HTTP.Get(url, headerNames, headerValues);
Variable.SetValue("response",response.Content);

</script>

Response: %%=v(@response)=%%

  • I have used the above code but the response is displayed as null, even I changed Variable.SetValue("response",response.Content) to Variable.SetValue("response",response.Status) expecting that it will be displayed as 500 or 400 but still displayed as null.

    You should not change Status to Content. Leave it as Content to retrieve the content (otherwise it will be null). The above request works fine. If it's not working with your specific endpoint, I would recommend testing it in Postman and checking what response you get.
