Overview
This node interacts with the AnywhereWorks API to retrieve detailed information about a specific stream within an account. It is useful when you need to fetch metadata or content related to a particular stream identified by its unique ID. Typical use cases include integrating AnywhereWorks streams into workflows for monitoring, reporting, or further processing of stream data.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Retrieve details of a live chat stream for analysis.
- Fetch stream metadata to display in a dashboard.
- Use stream data as input for other automation steps.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Account ID | The unique identifier of the account that owns the stream. |
| Stream ID | The unique identifier of the stream to retrieve. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved stream's details. This typically includes all available metadata and content fields provided by the AnywhereWorks API for the specified stream. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally contains identifiers, timestamps, status, and possibly content or configuration related to the stream.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials for AnywhereWorks.
- The node makes HTTP GET requests to the AnywhereWorks API endpoint at
https://access.anywhereworks.com. - Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful operation.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Account ID or Stream ID: Ensure both IDs are correctly provided; otherwise, the API will return errors indicating missing parameters.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have not expired.
- Network issues or API downtime: Check network connectivity and AnywhereWorks service status if requests fail.
- API rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the API may throttle responses; consider adding delays or retries.
Common error messages might include:
- Unauthorized access due to invalid credentials — reauthenticate or update credentials.
- Not found errors if the stream or account ID does not exist — verify IDs.
- Bad request errors if parameters are malformed — check input formatting.
