Overview
This node is designed to retrieve detailed information about a specific product by its unique Product Id. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch product details dynamically within an automation workflow, such as verifying product data before processing orders, updating inventory, or integrating product information into other systems.
For example, if you have a list of product IDs and want to enrich your dataset with full product details from an external system, this node can be used to query each product by its ID and return the relevant information.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Product Id | The unique identifier of the product to find. This must be provided to fetch the corresponding product details. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the details of the product identified by the given Product Id. The structure typically includes fields such as product name, description, pricing, availability, and other metadata depending on the external API's response schema.
If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent associated files or media related to the product, but no such indication is present here.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the external Pax8 Partner API.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the base URL
https://api.pax8.com/v1. - Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials within n8n is necessary for successful operation.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing Product Id will result in failure to retrieve product data.
- Authentication errors due to incorrect or expired API credentials.
- Network connectivity issues preventing access to the external API endpoint.
Error Messages:
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
- "Product not found": Verify that the provided Product Id exists and is correct.
- Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the API service is reachable.
