Create a simple API endpoint
Configured with Respond To Webhook, Webhook. Review the connections and setup before adapting this template.
Node categories in this workflow
- Trigger
- Web / API
- Transform
Icons describe general node roles, inferred from node types. Inspect the parameters for the configured action.
Drag to pan; use + and − to zoom. Reconstructed from the exported node positions; nothing runs here. Dashed lines represent non-main connections. Full node names and notes appear below.
How it works
The exported workflow contains the following configured nodes. Their connections are shown above; inspect the JSON for the complete logic, expressions, and external actions.
| Node | Category | Type | Operation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Webhook | Trigger | Webhook | See node parameters |
| Respond to Webhook | Web / API | Respond To Webhook | See node parameters |
| Create URL string | Transform | Edit Fields | See node parameters |
Setup
- Download the JSON and import it into an isolated n8n instance. Leave the workflow inactive.
- Connect your own credentials through n8n’s credential store. Replace
REPLACE_WITH_*values with your resource identifiers. - Inspect API destinations, Code nodes, database queries, file paths, and outbound actions.
- Run with synthetic data and harmless destinations. Enable triggers only after checking the actual outputs.
Requirements
An n8n instance with the listed node types and compatible versions. Service-connected workflows may require accounts, credentials, or paid APIs.
Credential types declared in the source
None declared. HTTP requests and Code nodes may still need configuration.
Workflow notes

Create a simple API endpoint
In this workflow we show how to create a simple API endpoint with Webhook and Respond to Webhook nodes
How to use it
How to use it
- Execute the workflow so that the webhook starts listening
- Make a test request by pasting, in a new browser tab, the test URL from the
Webhooknode and appending the following test at the end?first_name=bob&last_name=dylan
You will receive the following output in the new tab The URL of the Google search query for the term "bob dylan" is: https://www.google.com/search?q=bob+dylan

Purpose and structure
This folder contains the Create a simple API endpoint workflow. Its executable nodes use respondToWebhook, set, webhook. The table and connection map below are derived from the JSON, not an inferred guarantee of behavior.
Setup
Import inactive. Configure your own credentials and replace REPLACE_WITH_* values. Review external destinations and Code nodes before running.
Entry points

Verification
Sanitized source candidate; not runtime-tested. This overview is generated from node metadata. Read the folder README for the connection map, credential types, and license.
