Petstore

Interact with Petstore API

Overview

This node interacts with the Petstore API to delete a pet by its unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to remove a pet record from the system, such as managing pet data cleanup or automating pet lifecycle management.

For example, if you have an application that tracks pets and you want to automate the removal of pets that are no longer active or relevant, this node can be used to send a delete request to the Petstore API for a specified pet ID.

Properties

Name Meaning
Api Key An API key credential used to authenticate requests to the Petstore API. This value is sent in the request headers under api_key.
Pet Id The unique numeric identifier of the pet to delete. This property is required.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Petstore API after attempting to delete the pet. Typically, this will include status information indicating whether the deletion was successful. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Petstore API endpoint at https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3.
  • Requires an API key for authentication, which must be provided in the Api Key property.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond standard HTTP request capabilities.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing API key: If the API key is incorrect or not provided, the API will reject the request. Ensure the correct API key is set in the node's properties.
  • Pet Id not found: If the specified pet ID does not exist, the API may return a 404 error. Verify the pet ID before attempting deletion.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network access to the Petstore API URL.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests might be throttled by the API. Review API usage policies if encountering rate limit errors.
