Exercise 2: Make Your First HTTP Request

Objective: Build an HTTP module in Make or n8n and successfully fetch data from a real API.

Instructions:

Using the API you chose in Exercise 1:

1. Create a new workflow/scenario in Make or n8n.
2. Add an HTTP Request module (HTTP in Make, HTTP Request in n8n).
3. Configure it:
4. Method: GET
5. URL: The endpoint you identified in Exercise 1
6. Headers/Authentication: Add any required headers or authentication
7. Run the workflow.
8. Check the output. You should see the JSON response.
9. In a downstream step (a text field, log module, or Slack message), map one piece of data from the response. For example, if it's weather data, map the temperature. If it's cryptocurrency data, map the price.

Deliverable: A screenshot showing: - Your HTTP module configuration - The successful execution output showing the JSON response - A downstream step using data from that response

This proves you can make a direct API call and extract data from it.
