HI, 
I'm integrating Zoho bookings with fiken API but I'm facing a problem. 
 when I use a Post method in response it gives me a file with a hydrated URL or something like that:

Hi @peter123! 👋 

when I use a Post method in response it gives me a file with a hydrated URL

When a Zapier app integration makes an API request to an endpoint that returns a file, the Zapier platform  won’t actually download the file unless it is used (selected) in a following action step in a Zap. Until that time, an internal “dehydration pointer” is returned, i.e. the hydrate||| string.

You can read more about dehydration/hydration here: https://platform.zapier.com/cli_tutorials/hydration

I want to get the response header for further progress 

You can get access to response headers using the getHeader(key) method of the response object: https://platform.zapier.com/cli_docs/docs#http-response-object

If you’re building your app using the UI (visual builder), you can switch to “code mode” to write code that accesses the response object, such as the getHeader(key) method: https://platform.zapier.com/docs/faq#how-does-code-mode-work

Could you give that a try and let us know how things go?
