Seeing What Follows a Node

When you are not sure what to try after a node, look at what other people do. NodePit counts which nodes are connected before and after each node in public workflows, which is a good way to learn how a node is used in practice.

Get the successors

The answer for a node lists them with a count of how often each one follows. Sort by the count to see the most common first:

curl -s "https://nodepit.com/api/nodes/org.knime.base.node.preproc.groupby.GroupByNodeFactory" \
  | jq '.successors | sort_by(-.count) | .[0:5] | map({name, count})'

Replace successors with predecessors to see what usually comes before the node instead.

A popular node can have a long list of successors, so cut the list down, as the example does with .[0:5].

Look at a successor

Each entry has the ID of the node. Request it to see what the node does and where to install it from:

curl -s "https://nodepit.com/api/nodes/<nodePitId>" \
  | jq '{name, description, extension: .featureName}'

With an AI assistant

Ask a connected assistant:

Which node do people usually connect after a GroupBy node?

It looks up the node and answers with the most common successors. See Connecting an AI Assistant if you have not connected one yet.
