Overview

Clay’s HTTP API enrichment lets you call any REST API and map the response into your table. This guide walks through connecting any MoltSets tool to Clay.

​
Prerequisites

  • A MoltSets API key — see Authentication for how to create one
  • A Clay table with a column containing the input data your chosen tool requires

​
Setup

​
1. Add an HTTP API enrichment column

In your Clay table, click + Add column and select HTTP API.

​
2. Configure the request

Set the following fields in the HTTP API configuration panel: Method 
POST
Endpoint Enter the endpoint URL for the MoltSets tool you want to use. Find the correct URL on the tool’s API reference page. Not sure which tool you need? See I Have X, I Want Y. Headers
KeyValue
Content-Typeapplication/json
AuthorizationBearer YOUR_API_KEY
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your MoltSets API key. Body Enter the request body as shown in the tool’s API reference page. For any fields that should pull from a Clay column, use Clay’s / shortcut to insert a column reference in place of the value.

​
3. Configure the response

In the Response values to return field, enter: 
results
This captures the entire results object from the MoltSets response into the HTTP API column.

​
4. Extract values into their own columns

Add a separate column for each value you want to extract from the response:
  1. Click + Add column and select Formula
  2. Use / to reference the HTTP API column
  3. Select the field you want from the field picker (e.g. results.email)
Repeat for each field you need.
Clay’s HTTP API path traversal stops at one level deep, so entering results.email directly in the Response values to return field will not drill into the nested object. The two-column approach above is the expected workflow.

​
Handling no results

When MoltSets finds no data for a given input, it returns a 404 error.
