Interact with Lexware Office API

Overview

This node integrates with the Lexware Office API to perform operations on various business resources. Specifically, for the Credit Note resource with the Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific credit note by its ID.

Typical use cases include:

  • Fetching details of a particular credit note for review or processing.
  • Automating workflows that require validation or extraction of credit note data.
  • Integrating credit note data into other systems such as accounting or ERP platforms.

For example, a user might want to automatically retrieve credit note details after a payment dispute is resolved or to generate reports based on credit notes issued.

Properties

Name Meaning
Credit Note ID The unique identifier of the credit note to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the credit note's data as returned by the Lexware Office API. This includes all available fields and metadata associated with the credit note.

The output is structured as an array of JSON objects (usually containing one object for the single requested credit note). There is no binary data output for this operation.

Example output snippet (conceptual):

[
  {
    "id": "12345",
    "date": "2024-01-15",
    "amount": 150.00,
    "customer": {
      "id": "67890",
      "name": "Example Customer"
    },
    "status": "open",
    "items": [
      {
        "description": "Returned product",
        "quantity": 1,
        "price": 150.00
      }
    ],
    ...
  }
]

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Lexware Office API via an API key credential.
  • The node expects the Lexware Office API base URL and API key to be configured in the credentials.
  • No additional external dependencies are required beyond the API access.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credit Note ID: If the Credit Note ID property is not provided or empty, the node will throw an error indicating missing required fields.
  • Invalid Credit Note ID: Providing an incorrect or non-existent credit note ID may result in an API error (e.g., 404 Not Found). Verify the ID is correct.
  • API Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access credit note data.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Lexware Office API endpoint can cause request failures.
  • Rate Limits: The API may enforce rate limits; if exceeded, requests may be throttled or rejected.

To resolve errors:

  • Double-check the Credit Note ID input.
  • Confirm API credentials and permissions.
  • Review network connectivity.
  • Consult Lexware Office API documentation for error codes.
