Comprehensive API Testing and Automation Workflow

This n8n workflow is designed as an educational and practical toolkit for understanding API interactions, testing, and automation. It demonstrates how different HTTP methods (GET, POST), query parameters, headers, authentication, error handling, and timeout management work in real-world API communication with a mocked restaurant menu API. The workflow includes multiple nodes that simulate API requests from a ‘Customer’ to a ‘Kitchen’ (server), covering essential concepts like retrieving data, customizing requests, sending data, secure access with API keys, and handling slow responses for timeout testing. The workflow starts with manual trigger activation, allowing users to see live API interactions, responses, and error handling, making it an ideal resource for developers learning API integration or automating API-based workflows in WordPress or other platforms.
