Interact with WaAPI API

Actions83

Overview

This node interacts with the WaAPI service to retrieve information about a specific group. It is useful when you need to fetch details of a group in a messaging platform, such as metadata or status, by providing either the group's instance ID or its chat identifier. Practical examples include automating group management tasks, monitoring group activity, or integrating group data into other workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The numeric instance ID of the group to retrieve information for.
Chat Id The unique string identifier of the group chat (e.g., <xxxxx>@g.us) used to specify the group.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified group. This typically includes metadata fields returned by the WaAPI service related to the group identified by the provided Id or Chat Id. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the WaAPI service.
  • The node depends on the external WaAPI REST API endpoint at https://waapi.app/api/v1.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent group Id or Chat Id will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the WaAPI service.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • Unauthorized / 401 error: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • Not Found / 404 error: Verify that the provided group Id or Chat Id exists and is correct.
    • Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the WaAPI service is reachable.
