Connect to any API faster with Make’s new HTTP app

Make’s library of 3,000+ apps provides pre-built and professionally maintained integrations for the tools you use most – including connectors other workflow automation platforms don't have. But the internet is bigger than any library.

The Make HTTP app is your bridge between Make and the rest of the open web, from niche SaaS products to custom internal tools to brand-new services. And today, that bridge is getting a major upgrade.

The HTTP app has evolved to bring native-app power to your custom API connections. We’ve taken the flexibility you rely on and embedded the advanced capabilities builders have been asking for directly into the module’s interface.

Here's how the new HTTP app makes connecting to any API with Make faster, more secure, and more intuitive.

Why the HTTP app is so valuable

The HTTP app is a quiet hero within the Make ecosystem. It's your universal connector: HTTP is the fundamental component of data transfer for the World Wide Web, so the HTTP app is your built-in way to download web pages, access files, make API calls, and trigger webhooks. Its ability to connect to any service with an API – regardless of whether a pre-built app exists – is what makes Make a truly limitless automation platform.

What's new in the HTTP app

But for those wanting to go beyond the basics and truly customize their experience, we've added a few impressive new features to improve your API setup, UI, and security.

Pagination is now native

Anyone who has ever needed to fetch all customers from a CRM, download every historical invoice from an accounting platform, or scrape multi-page search results knows the challenge of pagination.

Until now, handling large datasets meant building manual loops. You had to combine Repeaters, Routers, and complex filtering logic just to tell the scenario when to stop asking for more data. It worked, but it cluttered your scenarios and required careful maintenance.

With the new HTTP app, pagination is a native feature. Whether the API uses simple page numbers, modern cursor tokens, or offset-based pagination, you can now handle it with a simple toggle in the module settings. Just tell the app how the API handles the next page, and it manages the looping automatically.

It’s cleaner, faster to set up, and drastically reduces the complexity of your scenarios – including the credits they consume.

Build requests faster with visual data structures

Crafting complex JSON bodies for POST or PUT requests used to be a source of mistakes and syntax errors. A single misplaced comma or bracket could fail an entire run.

We’ve streamlined this process with a new visual editor for data structures. You no longer need to hand-code JSON and hope for the best. You can visually define and map your data structure, ensuring error-free requests every time.

Furthermore, you can save these data structures and reuse them across different scenarios and teams. This ensures consistency in how your organization talks to its APIs and significantly speeds up future builds.

Enterprise security standards out of the box

As your automation ambitions grow, so do your security requirements. Connecting to public APIs is one thing; integrating with private servers, internal databases sitting behind corporate firewalls, or high-security financial services is another.

The new HTTP app introduces enterprise-grade security protocols that allow Make to operate seamlessly in these demanding environments, without needing complex infrastructure workarounds.

• Mutual TLS (mTLS) & Proxy Support: You can now natively connect to services requiring two-way authentication certificates or route traffic through specific proxies directly within the module configuration.

• Secure Keychain Storage: We’ve separated credentials from scenario logic. The new Keychain securely stores your API keys, tokens, and certificates separate from your workflow. This makes it significantly easier to rotate credentials and maintain security best practices across your entire organization without breaking individual scenarios.

Your default for custom integrations – now better

With the new HTTP app, we haven’t just added features: we’ve elevated the entire experience of building custom integrations. It’s faster, tougher, and incredibly intuitive.

The new app is available to all users today. The next time you need to connect to a new service with Make, skip the manual workarounds and experience the power of the evolved HTTP app.
