Making a web request without IFTTT?

[bickyb]

Hi,
I wanted to see if there some sort of web app that has been developed that can take a Smart Things action (e.g., a switch being turned on) and based on that make a web request, specifically a Post request with an application/json body.
I know this can be done with IFTTT, but I am trying to avoid the delays associated with IFTTT.

Core can do it.

Newbie, Execute a Routine or Device action via URL?

You could also look at using webCoRE, it has a built-in endpoint that you could use to trigger events or devices without having to program your own REST endpoint.
