No. The built-in HTTP "Send Request" piece handles it — set the method, URL, Authorization header, and JSON body, and read the response in the next step.
Can I self-host this?
Yes. Activepieces is open-source and self-hostable, so both the automation and your API key stay within your own infrastructure if that matters for compliance.
How do I use the returned URL?
Reference {{step_name.body.url}} in subsequent pieces — for example, a Slack or Gmail piece — to share the generated spreadsheet link.
