Overview
This node interacts with the Petstore API to retrieve information about pets. Specifically, the "Get Pet By Id" operation fetches details of a single pet using its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to look up specific pet data, such as retrieving pet details for display in an application, verifying pet existence, or integrating pet information into workflows.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching a pet's details by its ID to show on a user interface.
- Validating pet information before processing orders or appointments.
- Integrating pet data into customer relationship management (CRM) systems.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the pet object retrieved from the Petstore API. The structure typically includes fields such as the pet's id, name, category, photo URLs, tags, and status. This JSON output can be used directly in subsequent workflow steps for further processing or decision-making.
If the API supports binary data (e.g., pet images), it would be included in the binary output field; however, based on the provided code and operation, the output is primarily JSON.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the Petstore API at
https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3. - Optionally uses an API key credential for authentication if configured.
- No additional external dependencies are indicated beyond standard HTTP requests to the Petstore API.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Pet Id: Ensure the Pet Id property is set and corresponds to an existing pet.
- Network errors: Verify internet connectivity and that the Petstore API endpoint is reachable.
- Authentication errors: If the API requires authentication, ensure the API key or token is correctly configured.
Error messages:
- "Pet not found": The specified Pet Id does not exist in the Petstore database.
- "Unauthorized" or "Forbidden": Authentication credentials are missing or invalid.
- "Request failed": General network or server error; check API availability and request parameters.
Resolving these usually involves verifying input values, checking credentials, and ensuring the API service is operational.
