Evolution API

Overview

This node, named "Evolution API," allows users to interact with the Evolution API service. Specifically, for the resource "Instancia" and operation "Reiniciar Instancia" (Restart Instance), it enables restarting a specified instance by its name. This is useful in scenarios where an instance needs to be rebooted or refreshed remotely via API calls, such as recovering from errors, applying updates, or resetting state.

Practical example: A user can input the name of a running instance that is experiencing issues and trigger a restart through this node without manual intervention on the server or platform hosting the instance.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the restart operation. The exact structure depends on the Evolution API's response but typically includes status information about the restart request, such as success confirmation or error details.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Evolution API.
• The base URL for requests is set to https://doc.evolution-api.com/api-reference.
• Proper configuration of the API authentication within n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Operation not supported error: If the node throws an error stating the operation is not supported, verify that the resource and operation names are correctly set to "instances-api" and "restart-instance" respectively.
• Authentication failures: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to perform instance restarts.
• Instance not found: If the specified instance name does not exist or is misspelled, the API may return an error; double-check the instance name input.
• Network or API errors: Check network connectivity and API availability if requests fail unexpectedly.
