Is it possible to make requests one by one with delay?

Hey n8n community!

Is it possible to make requests one by one with delay?

My goto option is to use the batch node and wait node to split the items into batches and wait a few ms with the wait node.

Split In Batches - n8n Documentation

Edit: added an example

What @FelixL said . This will work for any other nodes as well, not just the HTTP Request node.

Alternatively and specifically on the HTTP Request node, you could also use the “Batching” options on the HTTP Request directly and configure a batch size of 1:

@MutedJam I knew there was another way to do this somewhere, but I just did not remember that the http node already has that built in (:

this doesn’t work for me for some reason. It never finishes

Thanks for the answer! Is it also possible to do something only WHEN there is nothing to do anymore inside this loop?

[MutedJam]

Yep, there is. You can use an IF node to check if whether there are no items left in a loop. Merge multiple runs into one | n8n workflow template would be an example.
