Video Introduction Want to automate your inbox or need a custom workflow? 📞 Book a Call | 💬 DM me on Linkedin Workflow Overview This workflow creates a recipe finder web application that connects to the API Ninjas Recipe API using n8n's HTTP Request node. Users submit search queries through a public web form, which triggers an API call to fetch matching recipes. The results—including recipe title, ingredients, and cooking instructions—are displayed in a formatted completion page. Why This Workflow Is Valuable This template demonstrates API-to-API integration, a crucial skill for connecting services that don't have pre-built n8n nodes. By using direct API calls, you gain access to the full functionality of external services. This pattern can be adapted to integrate virtually any tool with an API into your n8n workflows. Common Use Cases Create public-facing forms that query external databases Build custom search tools for specialized APIs Integrate niche services without dedicated n8n nodes Learn header authentication for secure API connections Setup & Configuration Register for API Ninjas: Sign up at API Ninjas to access their Recipe API Get your API Key: Locate your API key in the API Ninjas dashboard Configure Credentials: In n8n, create a new Header Auth credential Set the header name to match the API requirement (e.g., 'X-Api-Key') Paste your API key as the value Apply this credential to the HTTP Request node The Form Trigger generates a public URL for users to submit queries. Customize the form title, field labels, and completion message HTML to match your needs.

A minimal, plug-and-play workflow that generates sample data using n8n’s Code node (both JavaScript and Python versions included) and then fans out those records into individual items with Split Out. Perfect for testing downstream nodes, mapping, pagination, or prototyping list-based logic without connecting to real data sources. ✅ What this template does Generates 20 sample records** with fields: index, num, and test Writes the array to item.json.barr Uses Split Out to convert the array into one item per record Includes both JavaScript and Python implementations side-by-side 👤 Who’s it for Builders who need mock data to test mappings and loops Educators/demo makers who want a simple fan-out pattern Anyone who wants a clean scaffold for list processing in n8n ⚙️ How it works / What it does Generate Data Javascript**: Produces barr = [{ index, num, test }, ...] for 20 rows Generate Data Python**: Same output, written in Python Split Out Javascript / Python: Takes barr and emits **one item per element > Use either branch (JS or Python) depending on your preference. 🛠️ How to set up No external setup required. Import the workflow and Execute. Select either the JavaScript or Python branch to see fan-out items. 📋 Requirements n8n (Cloud or self-hosted) No credentials or third-party services 🎛️ Customize the workflow Change the number of rows: adjust the loop range (0..N) Rename or add fields to each record (e.g., name, price, tags) Replace the static array with generated or randomized data Pipe the Split Out output into Set, Function, HTTP, or Sheets nodes for further testing 🗒️ Notes Sticky notes are included for in-editor guidance. Both implementations return the same structure so you can swap freely. 📬 Contact Need help customizing this (e.g., shaping fields, adding randomizers, or exporting to CSV/Sheets)? 📧 rbreen@ynteractive.com 🔗 Robert Breen — https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-breen-29429625/ 🌐 ynteractive.com — https://ynteractive.com
