Overview
This node integrates with the Bedrijfsdata API to perform validation and cleansing of various data types. Specifically, for the "Validate IBAN Number" operation under the "Validation & Cleansing" resource, it validates International Bank Account Numbers (IBANs). This is useful in scenarios where you need to verify the correctness and format of IBANs before processing payments, storing banking details, or performing financial compliance checks.
Practical examples include:
- Validating user-submitted IBANs in a form to prevent errors in payment processing.
- Cleaning up existing datasets by verifying stored IBAN numbers.
- Automating workflows that require confirmation of bank account validity.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| IBAN Number | (Required) Enter an IBAN number to validate. The node will check if this IBAN is valid. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the validation result from the Bedrijfsdata API. The structure typically includes fields indicating whether the IBAN is valid, possibly additional metadata about the IBAN such as country code, bank identifier, or error messages if invalid.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Bedrijfsdata API.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n for authentication with the Bedrijfsdata service.
- Internet access to reach
https://api.bedrijfsdata.nl/v1.2.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or malformed IBAN input leading to validation failure.
- Network connectivity problems preventing API requests.
- Missing or incorrect API credentials causing authentication errors.
Error messages:
"Failed to fetch cities: ..."or similar messages indicate API request failures; ensure the API endpoint is reachable and credentials are correct.- Errors related to invalid IBAN format usually mean the input does not conform to IBAN standards; double-check the input value.
- Authentication errors suggest misconfigured or missing API keys; verify credential setup in n8n.
