When using the API Connector in Workflows to make a request to a third-party service, the cards for the individual HTTP request methods (Post, Get, Put, Delete, or Patch) may take several minutes to execute and return a response. Executing the same request outside of workflows using Postman or a similar tool returns the same response much quicker or immediately.

- API Connector Post, Get, Put, Delete and Patch cards
- API Connector Raw Request card
When certain HTTP responses are returned from the third-party service, like a 408 Request Timeout, the API connector cards for the individual HTTP request methods will retry the request up to 5 times. There is a delay between each retry, and depending on how many times the card retries, it may take up to 10+ minutes to execute and return a response.
Use the API Connector Raw Request card to make the API request instead of the specific request method cards. It will not attempt to retry the request regardless of the response received from the service.
