    This workflow automates the process of retrieving random cocktail data from the CocktailDB API and converting it into XML format, eliminating the need for manual data fetching and formatting. Users can quickly access cocktail recipes without extensive coding or data handling efforts.

    Workflow Steps

  • Manual Trigger: The workflow begins when the user clicks the 'execute' button, initiating the process.
    2. HTTP Request: An HTTP request is sent to the CocktailDB API endpoint (https://www.thecocktaildb.com/api/json/v1/1/random.php) to fetch a random cocktail recipe.
    3. XML Conversion: The JSON response from the API is then converted into XML format, making it easier to integrate with systems that prefer XML data.

    • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Changing the API URL to fetch different cocktail data (e.g., specific cocktails or categories).
    - Modifying the XML conversion options if specific formatting is needed.
    - Adding additional nodes to process or store the XML data (e.g., saving to a database or sending via email).
