Overview

This node interacts with the LEDGERS API to perform various operations related to financial and business data management. Specifically, for the "Tax Operation (India)" resource and the "GST Return Status" operation, it retrieves the status of a GST return based on the provided GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number). This is useful for businesses or accountants who need to verify the filing status of GST returns for compliance and reporting purposes.

Practical examples include:

  • Checking if a GST return has been filed successfully for a given GSTIN.
  • Automating GST compliance workflows by integrating GST return status checks into broader accounting or ERP systems.
  • Alerting finance teams about pending or failed GST filings.

Properties

Name Meaning
GSTIN The Goods and Services Tax Identification Number for which the GST return status is requested. It must be a valid GSTIN string.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the GST return status information retrieved from the LEDGERS API. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as filing status, return period, and any relevant messages or error codes.

If the node supports binary data output, it would generally represent documents or reports related to GST returns, but this specific operation focuses on JSON status data only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the LEDGERS API service.
  • Needs an API key credential and user authentication (email and password) configured in n8n credentials to access the LEDGERS API.
  • The node performs HTTP requests to the LEDGERS API endpoints, so internet connectivity and correct API URL configuration are necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication failures: If the node throws errors related to login or token retrieval, verify that the API key, email, and password credentials are correctly set up and valid.
  • Invalid GSTIN input: Ensure the GSTIN provided is correctly formatted and exists; otherwise, the API may return errors or empty results.
  • API endpoint issues: If the API URL is misconfigured or the service is down, requests will fail. Check network connectivity and API service status.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the API changes its response format, the node might not parse the data correctly. Updating the node or checking API documentation may be required.
