Interact with WaAPI API

Actions83

Overview

This node interacts with the WaAPI service to retrieve story data based on a specific instance ID. It is useful when you need to fetch detailed information about a particular story from the WaAPI platform, for example, to display story content or metadata in your workflow or to process story data further.

A practical use case would be automating content retrieval where you input a story's unique identifier and get back all relevant details about that story for downstream processing or integration.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the story instance you want to retrieve. This is a required property.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the story details fetched from the WaAPI API. The structure typically includes all fields returned by the API for the specified story instance, such as title, content, author, timestamps, and other metadata related to the story.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an invalid or non-existent story ID may result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the WaAPI endpoint.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate issues with the API key; verify the credential setup.
    • "Not Found" or similar errors suggest the provided story ID does not exist; double-check the ID value.
    • Timeout or connection errors imply network issues; ensure internet access and endpoint availability.
