Connection

Required: Yes — the node will not save without one
Auth type: API key
Providers: NASA
Secret shape: the API key, or {"api_key": "…"}
Config it needs: base_url, images_base_url
Resolved by: config.connection_id, else node.connection_id

Configuration

2 fields, none required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Constraints	Example
page Which page of the data set to read; the first page is 0.	number	No	—	≥ 0	—
size How many asteroids to return per page; NASA's own default is 20.	number	No	—	≥ 1	—

Output

One shape.

In a technical demo we add the NASA connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
