Error: ECONNREFUSED HTTP Request Node

[Batman]

I am making a call to my api, the code for which I have written using python and flask. However, I am getting the following error message despite my flask app running and on the port number that I have specified.

ERROR: The service refused the connection - perhaps it is offline

connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:5000

Hi @Batman Welcome to the n8n community!

Please update your question with the following details.

• How you’re running n8n? Docker, NPM?
• Is your API Hosted somewhere?
