Parallel : APIs are executed in parallel.

await g.sys.system.callExternalApi([
    {
        url: "FULL_URL",
        method: "POST",
        body: [
            {

                from: "saveApi.output.data.first_name",
                to: "setApi.body.first_name"
            }
        ],
        queryParams: {
            deep: JSON.stringify([{
                s_key: "SOURCE_COLLECTION_COLUMN_NAME",
                t_key: "TARGET_COLLECTION_COLUMN_NAME",
                t_col: "TARGET_COLLECTION_NAME",

        type: 'parallel',
        data: [
            {
                url: "FULL_URL",
                method: 'PUT',
                body: {},
                id: "setApi",
                headers: { "x-am-authorization": "TOKEN" }
            },
            {
                url: "FULL_URL",
                method: 'GET',
                headers: { "x-am-authorization": "TOKEN" }
            }
        ]
    }
]);

Sequential : APIs are executed in sequential.

await g.sys.system.callExternalApi([
    {
        url: "your_url",
        method: "GET",
        timeout: 5000,
        queryParams: { "select": "first_name" },
        headers: { "x-am-meta": true },
        id: "getData",
        output: "any"
    },
    {
        type: "sequential",
        data: [
            {
                url: "your_url",
                method: "POST",
                body: {},
                id: "addData",
                preProcess: [
                    {
                        from: "getData.output.data",
                        to: "addData.body"
                    }
                ],
                headers: { "x-am-authorization": "TOKEN", "x-am-response-case": "capitalCase" }
            },
            {
                url: "your_url",
                method: "GET",
                headers: { "x-am-response-case": "capitalCase" }
            }
