Custom Node Run FUNCTION on every run not only on init

[rautex]

Hi,
the Idea is feed some things by an api make automatic some things

my code is working, i have only the problem that to generate is called only once at the start, is here a way to say that i want it on every run?

`
import torch,urllib.request, json
class SF2:

    def __init__(self):
        pass
    
    @classmethod
    def INPUT_TYPES(s):
        return {"required": { "dbid": ("INT", {"default": 0, "min": 0,  "step": 1}),
                            
                            
                              }}

    RETURN_TYPES = ("LATENT", "STRING", "STRING",  "STRING",  "FLOAT","TEXT_TYPE",)
    RETURN_NAMES = ("Latent", "postiveMain", "postiveSupport",  "negative", "resize","APIDATA")

    FUNCTION = "generate"
    CATEGORY = "SF2"

    def generate(self, dbid):
        response = urllib.request.urlopen("api url") 
        jsonData = response.read();
        data = json.loads(jsonData)
        print("###################MYDATA#################")
        print(data)
        print(data['title'])
        latent = torch.zeros([1, 4, data['height'] // 8, data['width'] // 8])
        return ({"samples":latent}, data['title'], data['keywords'], "", float(data['resize']),jsonData,)


# A dictionary that contains all nodes you want to export with their names
# NOTE: names should be globally unique
NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS = {
    "SF2": SF2
}

# A dictionary that contains the friendly/humanly readable titles for the nodes
NODE_DISPLAY_NAME_MAPPINGS = {
    "SF2": "SF2"
}

i have found a workaround

add "seed": ("INT", {"default": 0, "min": 0, "max": 0xffffffffffffffff} and then you can set it to random so the function will be called every time on a create image proc

Seconding this. I have a very similar problem: I'm working on a custom node that needs to be executed on every new generation, regardless of whether the input params changed or not. Funnily enough, I figured out the same workaround: just have a dummy INT input and connect an INT primitive to it and set it to random. I would also like to know if there's a "native" or, at least, more graceful way to force execute a node.
