Steuerboard

Consume the Steuerboard API

Overview

This node integrates with the Steuerboard API to retrieve information about various resources, including Admin Users. Specifically, the "Get by ID" operation for the Admin User resource fetches detailed data about a single accountant user by their unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to access or verify specific user details within Steuerboard, such as for auditing, reporting, or user management tasks.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving an accountant user's profile to display in a dashboard.
  • Validating user existence before performing further operations.
  • Fetching user details to synchronize with other systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The unique identifier of the accountant user to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the requested Admin User's details as returned by the Steuerboard API. The structure typically includes user-specific fields such as name, email, roles, and other relevant metadata associated with the accountant user.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent files or attachments related to the user, but this is not applicable for the "Get by ID" Admin User operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Steuerboard API.
  • Requires configuration of an API authentication credential (an API key or token) to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for the API must be set in the node credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid User ID: Ensure the User ID property is provided and correctly formatted; otherwise, the API call will fail.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access Admin User data.
  • Network or connectivity issues: Confirm that the base URL is reachable from the n8n environment.
  • User not found: If the specified User ID does not exist, the API may return a 404 error; check the ID for correctness.
