Fetch Nodes

The Fetch Node allows you to bring external data into your Dal Nulla project. It acts like a standard HTTP client, enabling you to integrate real-time information into your creative workflows.

How it Works

The node performs an HTTP request to a specified URL and makes the response body (text or JSON) available to connected nodes.

Configuration

• URL: Enter the API endpoint you want to call (e.g., https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/TOP/31,80/forecast).
• Method:
  • GET: For retrieving data (most common).
  • POST: For sending data to a server.
• Headers: A JSON object defining request headers (e.g., { "Authorization": "Bearer token" }).
• Body: A JSON object for the request body (only for POST requests).

Use Cases

1. Dynamic Prompts

Fetch real-time data to influence your generation prompts.

• Example: Fetch today’s weather forecast and pipe it into a Text Node to generate a “Weather Report” script that matches reality.

2. External Content Integration

Pull text from your own CMS or database.

• Example: Fetch a blog post title from your website API and use it to generate a matching thumbnail image.

Outputs

• Result: The raw text response from the server. If the response is JSON, you will typically connect this to a JSON Parser Node to extract specific fields.
