Demonstrates the Use of the $item(index) Method
This workflow demonstrates the use of the `$item(index)` method. This method is useful when you want to reference an item at a particular index.
This example workflow makes POST HTTP requests to a dummy URL.
**Set node:** This node is used to set the API key that will be used in the workflow later. This node returns a single item. This node can be replaced with other nodes, based on the use case.
**Customer Datastore node:** This node returns the data of customers that will be sent in the body of the HTTP request. This node returns 5 items. This node can be replaced with other nodes, based on the use case.
**HTTP Request node:** This node uses the information from both the Set node and the Customer Datastore node. Since the node will run 5 times, once for each item of the Customer Datastore node, you need to reference the API Key 5 times. However, the Set node returns the API Key only once. Using the expression `{{ $item(0).$node[Set].json[apiKey] }}` you tell n8n to use the same API Key for all the 5 requests.
