A typical wiring for Request: GET: branch feeds the flow pin; dynamic value feeds the url pin; the response out pin feeds parse; the flow out pin feeds branch.

Studio canvas example for the Request: GET block: typical wiring for Request: GET.

In production blueprints, this block is most often wired together with:

branch: wired in both directions with this block.
parse: this block feeds into it. Converts a JSON in text format to a data structure that can be used inside functions.
===: this block feeds into it. returns true if the two values are equal. Compares any type: numbers by value across int/float, strings and booleans strictly, objects and arrays deeply. There is no string/number coercion, so "1" does not equal 1.
dynamic value: feeds into this block. Returns the provided value with support for dynamic inpins using {name:type} placeholders — the pin's name first, then its type, e.g. {guid:value}.
set: this block feeds into it. Set key to hold the string value. If key already holds a value, it is overwritten, regardless of its type.
reply in JSON: this block feeds into it. Reply to any httpconnection as JSON body.

Introduced in v12.1.6.
