Wait Node Guide

The Wait Node is a straightforward yet useful tool in ReAPI’s no-code editor. Its purpose is simple: it pauses the execution of the test flow for a specified period before continuing to the next node. This can be helpful when you need to wait for certain processes to complete, such as asynchronous API responses or rate-limited requests.

Configuration

The Wait Node has just one configuration option:

• Duration: Specifies the wait time in seconds. The maximum allowable duration is currently 20 minutes, which is 1200 seconds. (Note: This maximum duration may be subject to change in future updates.)

Example Use Cases

• Handling Asynchronous Responses: Use the Wait Node to pause until an expected background process or data update has time to complete.
• Managing Rate Limits: Add a wait period between API requests to comply with rate-limited services, reducing the risk of overloading the API.

Important Note

The Wait Node is capped at a maximum duration of 1200 seconds (20 minutes) to prevent excessively long test executions. This limit is designed to balance flexibility and performance within the test environment.
