API Call Node: A more flexible way to call external API

An API Call Node provides a flexible way to integrate external tools and services within your workflow. By configuring an HTTP request, you can retrieve and process data dynamically, enhancing automation capabilities.

API Call Node Example

Configurating a API Call Node

To set up a API Call via HTTP request, you may:

  • Select Node Type

    • Navigate to the node configuration settings.

    • Choose ‘API Call’ as the node type.

  • Define Node Name and Description

    • Assign a meaningful name to clearly represent its function.

    • Provide a detailed description to facilitate understanding and reuse in subsequent workflow steps.

  • Set Up API Configuration

    • Configure the HTTP request by specifying relevant parameters.

      • Define the API endpoint URL and select the appropriate HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).

      • Configure request headers, query parameters, and request body, similar to standard HTTP request setup.

      • Set up timeout settings and SSL verification as needed to ensure reliability and security.

  • Define Output Schema

    • Specify the expected output format to structure the response data.

      • A common schema includes an object containing the response message and request status.

By following these steps, you can effectively integrate external APIs into your Miiflow workflow, enabling seamless data exchange and automation.
