Bedrijfsdata

Get data from the Bedrijfsdata API.

Overview

This node integrates with the Bedrijfsdata API to retrieve various types of business-related data. Specifically, for the Other Data resource and the Get Exchange Rate operation, it fetches exchange rates for over 300 currencies, including cryptocurrencies. This is useful in scenarios where you need up-to-date currency conversion rates within your workflows, such as financial reporting, e-commerce price adjustments, or multi-currency invoicing.

For example, you could use this node to:

  • Convert amounts from one currency to another based on the latest exchange rates.
  • Monitor cryptocurrency values alongside traditional currencies.
  • Automate financial calculations that depend on current currency valuations.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the exchange rate information for the requested currency. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as:

  • The base currency code.
  • Exchange rates against other currencies.
  • Timestamp or date of the rates.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the Bedrijfsdata API.
  • The node makes HTTP GET requests to the endpoint /currency on the base URL https://api.bedrijfsdata.nl/v1.2.
  • No additional environment variables are needed beyond the API authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing currency code parameter will cause the API request to fail.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
    • Expired or invalid API credentials will result in authentication errors.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors related to API response status or unexpected data format may occur if the API changes or is temporarily unavailable.
    • If the node throws an error about failing to fetch data, verify the currency code is valid and the API key is correctly configured.
