Hi, Welcome to the forum.

Have look at the [node-red-node-mysql (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-mysql) node.  
With this node and his samples you should get it working.

Can you describe your setup a bit more -  
What sort of RFID sensor do you have?  
Is it connected to the Raspberry Pi?  
What is the "api rest web service"?  
Is MySQL/Mariadb installed on the Raspberry Pi?

Maybe a photo of the setup would help me understand, also a screenshot of your Node-Red flow.
