02/10/2026, 4:28 AMHi, I can't return the response body from my https request.
To diagnose the problem, i've created a simple https request to get image from:
https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search
Expected:
workflow.CatAPI.response.data[0].url should be available
Actual behavior:
The request exits with Success, i can see the response body under "there is a response" event
But workflow.CatAPI only contains { EXIT: "Success" }
The response body (data / url) is missing and not accessible in later nodes
I'm not sure what's wrong exactly. please help. Thanks!

02/10/2026, 2:28 PMthe request is correctly done and returns the resposne you expect but it's then overwritten by the workflow
