n8n node to interact with WB API

Overview

This node is designed to interact with a specific API related to "Вопросы" (Questions). The "Get Question" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about a particular question by specifying its unique ID. This functionality is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and process data about individual questions, such as displaying question details in a workflow, analyzing user inquiries, or integrating question data into other systems.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching a question's content and metadata for display in a customer support dashboard.
  • Retrieving question details to trigger follow-up actions based on the question's attributes.
  • Integrating question data into reporting or analytics workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the question to retrieve. This is a required string input that specifies which question's data will be fetched.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested question. The structure typically includes all relevant fields returned by the API for a single question, such as its text, creation date, status, author, and any other metadata provided by the service.

If the API supports binary data related to the question (e.g., attachments), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the primary output is JSON-formatted question data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate requests to the external service providing question data.
  • The node uses a base URL configured from an imported Swagger/OpenAPI specification.
  • Proper configuration of the API endpoint and authentication credentials within n8n is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Id: Since the "Id" property is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will result in errors or no data returned. Ensure the ID corresponds to an existing question.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key or authentication token is missing or invalid, the node will fail to retrieve data. Verify that the correct credentials are set up in n8n.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems or incorrect base URL configurations can cause request failures. Check network access and endpoint settings.
  • Unexpected API responses: Changes in the external API or malformed responses might cause parsing errors. Review API documentation and update node configurations if needed.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external API documentation for detailed information about the question resource and its fields.
  • n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and use HTTP request nodes may provide additional guidance.
