Simple read of a public API

This flow is a simple bare bone to read a public API at https://sabesp-api.herokuapp.com/{{datastring}}.

Datastring is something like this: "2015-01-01" (yyyy-mm-dd). The public API output is a JSON with data from 6 water reservoirs for that day.

The idea is to have a flow to show - by simple console.log() exhibition - data from several days.

The flow is kicked-off by an simple blank inject node. You set the data to control the flow - the start date and the number of days - in the second node, named Dados. This node also has some constructions for the loop. The remaining nodes are for the request and the parse.

There is a change node, called "Header off", that is key to make the several http requests.
