Set credentials dynamically using expressions
Go to WorkflowDescription
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.
