Petstore

Interact with Petstore API

Overview

This node interacts with the Petstore API to update an existing pet's information using form data. It is useful when you need to modify details of a pet already registered in the system, such as changing its name or status. For example, if a pet's adoption status changes or its name is corrected, this node allows updating those fields via a simple form submission.

Properties

Name Meaning
Pet Id The unique identifier of the pet that needs to be updated.
Name The new name for the pet.
Status The new status of the pet (e.g., available, pending, sold).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated pet object returned by the Petstore API after the update operation. This typically includes all pet attributes such as id, name, status, and any other relevant fields reflecting the current state of the pet.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Petstore API at https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3.
  • An API key credential or similar authentication token may be required to authorize requests to the Petstore API.
  • The node uses standard HTTP headers including Accept: application/json and Content-Type: application/json.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Pet Id: If the provided Pet Id does not exist, the API will likely return an error indicating the pet was not found. Verify the Pet Id before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials can cause authorization failures. Ensure valid credentials are configured.
  • Empty or Invalid Fields: Submitting empty or incorrectly formatted values for name or status might result in validation errors from the API.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Petstore API endpoint will prevent successful updates.
