Overview

This node operation retrieves a list of users from an external service. It is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch multiple user records, such as generating reports, synchronizing user data with other systems, or performing bulk operations on user accounts.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Get all users in your organization to export their details.
  • Retrieve user lists for auditing or compliance checks.
  • Synchronize user information with a CRM or HR system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to customize the query. Currently supports specifying the page number and size via a JSON object (e.g., { "page": 1, "size": 50 }).

Output

The output contains a JSON array of user objects retrieved from the external service. Each object represents a user with their associated details as provided by the API.

If the API supports pagination, the output will reflect the requested page of users based on the additional query parameters.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the external user management service.
  • The node uses a base URL pointing to the external API endpoint.
  • Proper configuration of authentication credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Empty results: If no users are returned, verify that the additional query parameters (such as page number) are correctly set and that users exist in the specified page.
  • Authentication errors: Ensure that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access user data.
  • Invalid JSON in query parameters: When specifying the page parameter as JSON, ensure it is well-formed; otherwise, the request may fail.
  • API rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the external service might throttle requests. Implement retry logic or adjust request frequency accordingly.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service's API documentation for detailed information on user listing endpoints and supported query parameters.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API key credentials and use collection-type input properties.
