My purpose is to receive data through **Rest API** in Node-red using the **http request Node**. And extracting the useful information from the API response and insert it into **GraphQL server**. I am not sure how to extract the relevant data from API and use it in **graphql mutation**. Should I use a function node in between or how can it be done ?
