Describe the problem/error/question
When initiating a long-running workflow via an API GET request in a browser, the request times out after approximately 2 minutes, even though the workflow successfully continues to execute and completes in roughly 8 minutes as indicated in the n8n execution list. The goal is to receive a JSON response from the final “Respond to Webhook” node, but the early timeout in the browser prevents this, interrupting the expected data retrieval. The question is how to manage or adjust the settings to handle such scenarios where the browser’s timeout limit is exceeded by the duration of the workflow.
What is the error message (if any)?
Error code 524
Share the output returned by the last node
Just a JSON response like this format after processing the entire workflow, involves between 2 to 5 API calls + data processing trough 2 AI models:
[
{
"appended_bullet": [
"In enim justo rhoncus ut",
"Vivamus aliquet elit ac nisl",
"Donec mi odio faucibus at",
"Ut non enim eleifend felis",
"Aenean leo ligula porttitor eu"
]
}
]
