# REST Web Service GET Method

## REST Web Service GET Method

To create a **Web Service GET** method, creating a [Web Service Connection](/v1/docs/rest-web-service-connection) is mandatory.

See [REST Web Service Adaptor](/v1/docs/rest-web-service-adaptor) for general instructions on how to modify the following parameters:

- URL resource (request string)
- Query parameters
- Request body source
- Request and response headers.

The Web Service **GET** method issues an HTTP GET method on the specified endpoint (as set via the specified connection).

It generally assumes a JSON response, though it will check the response headers and/or the '**Convert Output to String**' setting to allow for raw text string responses.
