WaAPI

Interact with WaAPI API

Actions83

Overview

This node interacts with the WaAPI API to retrieve information about a specific channel by its ID. It is useful when you need to fetch detailed data about a particular communication channel, such as for monitoring, reporting, or integration purposes. For example, you might use this node to get the current status or metadata of a newsletter channel identified by its unique channel ID.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id Instance ID (a required numeric identifier for the instance context in which the node runs)
Channel Id The unique identifier of the channel to retrieve, typically formatted like <channelId>@newsletter

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested channel. This includes all relevant properties returned by the WaAPI API for that channel. The output does not include binary data; it is purely structured JSON describing the channel's attributes.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the WaAPI API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://waapi.app/api/v1.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials within n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an incorrect or non-existent Channel Id will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the WaAPI service.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • 401 Unauthorized: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • 404 Not Found: Verify that the Channel Id provided exists and is correctly formatted.
    • Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the WaAPI endpoint is reachable.
