# Bulk API calls from a list — enrich rows with any REST API

**Use case:** 

Call a REST API once per row with {{column}} placeholders and keep only the fields you need. Here: a list of JavaScript packages is sent to the public npm registry API and comes back with the latest version, description and license — the same pattern works for Clay, n8n, CRMs or your own API.

## Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://registry.npmjs.org/{{package}}/latest",
  "method": "GET",
  "bodyType": "auto",
  "rows": [
    {
      "package": "express"
    },
    {
      "package": "react"
    },
    {
      "package": "axios"
    },
    {
      "package": "lodash"
    },
    {
      "package": "next"
    },
    {
      "package": "typescript"
    },
    {
      "package": "crawlee"
    },
    {
      "package": "apify"
    }
  ],
  "maxRows": 100000,
  "parseJson": true,
  "extract": {
    "latest_version": "version",
    "description": "description",
    "license": "license"
  },
  "dropResponse": true,
  "keepInputFields": true,
  "includeHeaders": false,
  "maxResponseKb": 1024,
  "saveFiles": false,
  "paginate": "none",
  "pageParam": "page",
  "pageStart": 1,
  "pageStep": 1,
  "cursorParam": "cursor",
  "maxPages": 10,
  "maxConcurrency": 10,
  "perHostPerSecond": 10,
  "timeoutSecs": 30,
  "maxRetries": 2,
  "retryUnsafe": false,
  "followRedirects": true,
  "ignoreTlsErrors": false,
  "failOnErrorStatus": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "lookupKey": {
    "label": "Lookup key"
  },
  "method": {
    "label": "Method"
  },
  "requestUrl": {
    "label": "Request url"
  },
  "status": {
    "label": "Status"
  },
  "ok": {
    "label": "Ok"
  },
  "durationMs": {
    "label": "Duration ms"
  },
  "error": {
    "label": "Error"
  },
  "response": {
    "label": "Response"
  }
}
```

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/tidydata/http-request.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
