Interact with WaAPI API

Actions83

Overview

This node interacts with the WaAPI API to retrieve information about a specific instance by its ID. It is useful when you need to fetch detailed data about an individual instance from the WaAPI service, such as for monitoring, reporting, or further processing within an n8n workflow.

A practical example would be automating the retrieval of instance details after triggering an event related to that instance, enabling dynamic workflows based on the instance's current state or attributes.

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the instance to retrieve

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved instance details from the WaAPI API. This JSON typically contains all relevant fields describing the instance, such as its status, configuration, metadata, and other attributes provided by the API.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the WaAPI API.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to https://waapi.app/api/v1.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing instance ID will cause the API call to fail.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the WaAPI endpoint.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • "Instance not found" errors suggest the provided ID does not exist; double-check the ID value.
    • Timeout or network errors require checking internet connection and API availability.
