Tutorial: Make API requests, part 1

Part 1 of this tutorial demonstrates how to call a sample API endpoint in an unauthenticated form using the Workflows HTTP Raw Request card. Amazon hosts a free, publicly available REST API sample endpoint called Amazon PetStore API. It can be invoked from a browser or a REST client like POSTMAN. The response is a JSON payload with data of a page of available pets in the PetStore.

This flow will set "Content-Type" and "Accept" HTTP headers and will pass in two query parameters. The output will match the payload in the browser or POSTMAN.
