I’m trying to create a collection from a REST API endpoint. I keep getting the error message “Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘reduce’)”. In Postman i am able to successfully fetch data from my endpoint without any hiccups, in the weweb workflow editor, a REST API request successfully returns my data. The problem is in creating a collection using REST API as the source. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/4/49894c3cf38a933444d61112aa8fc8e7595186c6.png) ---

Did you try making the request from a server (by toggling the option in the collection)? Pretty sure the API you’re using prevents CORS from browsers. ---

Hie @Quentin , yes I am actually making the request from server. ---

Could you take a screenshot or a video of the whole config of the API call? It’s kinda hard to debug with just the error. Thanks ---

Sure, This is the API configurations. ![Screenshot 2023-08-25 152944](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/7/7f60a9b2e72e13741a38b3d6b3454c24258a2d65.png) Thanks for assisting 🙂 ---

Ok, the API call seems legit to me. Then, could you file a bug report on [support.weweb.io](http://support.weweb.io)? We’ll double-check if it’s not a WeWeb-related issue. Sorry for the trouble 🙏 ---

Hi @takutitus 👋 Just had a look at your project. WeWeb doesn’t accept REST API calls on `http`. REST API requests made through our plugin need to be `https`
