Overview
This node integrates with the Sharpei API to retrieve data related to various resources, including products. Specifically, for the "Get a Single Product" operation under the "Products" resource, it fetches detailed information about one product identified by its unique product PID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to obtain up-to-date product details from the Sharpei system, such as syncing product data into another system, displaying product info in an app, or performing further processing based on product attributes.
Example use cases:
- Fetching a product's full details before updating inventory or pricing.
- Retrieving product metadata to display on a website or dashboard.
- Integrating product data into order management or fulfillment workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Product PID | The unique identifier (PID) of the product to retrieve. This is required to specify which single product to fetch from the Sharpei API. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the detailed information of the requested product. The structure typically includes all relevant product fields as provided by the Sharpei API, such as product name, description, price, availability, and other metadata.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent associated files or media related to the product, but this is not evident from the provided code snippet.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Sharpei API endpoint at
https://api.prod.gosharpei.com/api. - Needs an API authentication credential configured in n8n (referred generically as an API key or token).
- The node depends on internal modules that define operations and fields for products and other resources, ensuring proper request construction and response parsing.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Product PID: Since the product PID is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause the API call to fail or return no data. Ensure the PID is correct and properly passed.
- Authentication errors: If the API key or token is missing, expired, or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate with the Sharpei API. Verify credentials are correctly set up in n8n.
- Network or API downtime: Connectivity issues or API service interruptions can cause request failures. Check network access and Sharpei API status.
- Unexpected response structure: If the API changes its response format, the node might not parse the output correctly. Updating the node or verifying API version compatibility may be necessary.
