Workflow Steps

Workflow Steps


1. Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks the 'Execute' button.
2. Set Initial Values: The workflow initializes parameters like page and perpage for pagination.
3. Fetch Data from GitHub: It makes an API call to GitHub to retrieve the starred repositories of a specified user.
4. Handle Pagination: If more data is available, it increments the page number and repeats the API call until all data is fetched.
5. Fetch Mock Data: Simultaneously, it retrieves mock album data from a placeholder API.
6. Fetch Wikipedia Page: It fetches a random Wikipedia page and extracts the article title using an HTML extraction node.
7. Output Handling: The workflow organizes the fetched data into manageable items for further processing or analysis.
