Beginner's Tutorial: Decode Chewbacca's CV using a simple n8n workflow

Hey all! We’ve published a tool that provides beginners with completely free n8n challenges to help them learn the tool in a purely practical way. No videos, no paid content, no long docs to read.

This one was published just a few days ago: Decode Chewbacca’s CV using a simple n8n workflow. It teaches you to use HTTP nodes, edit field nodes, split out and aggregate nodes. Very fun example to practice some of these essential nodes!

Excerpt from the first challenge of this learning tutorial:

Your Task

  1. Copy the exercise below

  2. Paste into your n8n editor (Ctrl+V)

  3. Solve it — use hints if you get stuck

  4. Check the solution when done


A new candidate CV has arrived from your elite headhunter network. Fetch it from the API to see what you’re working with.

  1. Add a Manual Trigger to start the workflow

  2. Add an HTTP Request node to fetch the CV from: https://www.node-bench.com/api/challenges/wookiee/cv

  3. Execute the workflow and inspect the response

Expected output: A JSON object containing the candidate’s information (name, species, homeworld, experience, languages, and references).
