Overview

This node, named 'Example Andrés Caro', is designed as a generic example node for n8n workflows. It supports dynamic resource and operation selection based on an OpenAPI specification, allowing users to configure API requests to various endpoints. The node is useful for scenarios where users want to interact with different API resources and operations defined in a specification, enabling flexible API integrations within n8n workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Calling different API endpoints by selecting resource and operation dynamically.
  2. Using the node to transform or process data by configuring API requests based on the OpenAPI spec.

Output

JSON

  • operation - The selected operation name.
  • resource - The selected resource name.
  • responseData - The data returned from the API call or operation execution.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or similar authentication to access the configured API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • If the OpenAPI specification is missing or malformed, the node falls back to basic or fallback properties, which may limit functionality.
  • Errors during property generation from the spec are logged and result in fallback properties being used.
  • Ensure the base URL and headers are correctly configured in the node's requestDefaults to avoid connection issues.
