How it works
This workflow shows how to set credentials dynamically using expressions. It accepts an API key via a form, then uses it in the NASA node to authenticate a request.
Setup steps
First, set up your NASA credential:
- Create a new NASA credential.
- Hover over API Key.
- Toggle Expression on.
- In the API Key field, enter
{{ $json["Enter your NASA API key"] }}
.
Then, test the workflow:
- Get an API key from NASA
- Select Test workflow
- Enter your key using the form.
- The workflow runs and sends you to the NASA picture of the day.
