## Examples

### ❌ Incorrect

```typescript
import { IRequestOptions } from 'n8n-workflow';

export class MyNode implements INodeType {
  async execute(this: IExecuteFunctions) {
    // Using deprecated request helper function
    const response = await this.helpers.request({
      method: 'GET',
      url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
    });

    // Using deprecated type
    const options: IRequestOptions = {
      method: 'POST',
      url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
    };

    return [this.helpers.returnJsonArray([response])];
  }
}
```

### ✅ Correct

```typescript
import { IHttpRequestOptions } from 'n8n-workflow';

export class MyNode implements INodeType {
  async execute(this: IExecuteFunctions) {
    // Using modern httpRequest helper function
    const response = await this.helpers.httpRequest({
      method: 'GET',
      url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
    });

    // Using modern type
    const options: IHttpRequestOptions = {
      method: 'POST',
      url: 'https://api.example.com/data',
    };

    return [this.helpers.returnJsonArray([response])];
  }
}
