A workflow with the DeepL node

1. Start node#

The Start node exists by default when you create a new workflow.

2. HTTP Request node (GET)#

This node will make a GET request to the API https://www.thecocktaildb.com/api/json/v1/1/random.php to fetch a random cocktail. This information gets passed on to the next node in the workflow.

  1. Enter https://www.thecocktaildb.com/api/json/v1/1/random.php in the URL field.
  2. Click on Execute Node to run the node.

In the screenshot below, you will notice that the node makes a GET request to the API and returns information about a random cocktail.
