Hi,
does anybody know a way for a pack to send http requests without needing to declare the domain?
I’d like to build a little website analyzer pack to check status codes for example.
So, no personal credentials involved.
Thanks in advance!
Hi @Tobias_Feistmantl - That’s not a supported use case, by design. We want to ensure that users know where their data is being sent, so network domains need to be declared ahead of time.
That said, a Pack can use an outside API or server to do the checking. For example, I’ve built the Check Host Pack that uses the Check Host service to do URL checking:
You could use that Pack, build one against another similar service, or host your own service that does the checking.

Hint - the answer is you need exactly one domain; the one the AI system is running on.
- Build your pack to execute a prompt that builds code;
- … then runs the code;
- … then returns the status codes.
Here is the solution roughed in using Bard. The production version should use the PaLM 2 API and it should be instrumented to return JSON data from the API call, and likewise from the Coda Pack function. Then it’s a simple matter of parsing the results.
This cannot be done in Coda AI (presently), but it can be done in PaLM 2, and GPT-4 with certain API access. I [personally] would build this in PaLM 2 because it’s faster and there are no fees [presently], possibly ever.
I built something similar before AGI was around.
