Still useful in 2026: Bardeen’s HTTP requests to bypass missing integrations

**Bardeen just showed how to automate literally anything with HTTP requests (even apps without native integration)**

Old video from 2023 but still super useful in 2026.

They walk through using GET and POST requests inside Bardeen to pull data from public APIs or push data to tools that Bardeen doesn't support out of the box.

Examples:

- GET: Grabbing real-time crypto prices from a free API and dumping it straight into Google Sheets (auto-updating every minute)

- POST: Shortening URLs with Bitly's API (including headers + JSON body) when there's no built-in Bitly action

Basically the message is: stop being limited by "does Bardeen integrate with this?" and just hit the API directly with HTTP requests.

It's a bit technical if you're new to APIs, but they keep it pretty beginner-friendly and show the exact setup.

Anyone still using Bardeen for automations? Have you been using the HTTP request action much, or do you prefer n8n/Make for this kind of thing? Worth dusting off for 2026 workflows?
