You would need a post request similar to the one shown underneath.
Whereby the type as well as the field value may differ in our case (blue outlines).

to not to crawl the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/complete-basic-operations-using-sharepoint-rest-endpoints#http-operations-in-sharepoint-rest-servicess you might want to use the following URL in a browser and adjust the bold characters according to your list (last one is an item id).

https://SITEURL/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('LISTTITLE')/items(1) 

The returned XML should include everything you need:

The more properly defined syntax for the call  than mine can be found at this https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/sharepoint-rest-api-in-power-automate-ms-flow/.

      I entered the URL but got this back

      This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
      #

      <m:message xml:lang="en-US">Item does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.</m:message>
      </m:error>#
       
      This is for the start page of the site.
       
      If I use the site where the library is located I just get "not found " the in browser.
