Overview
This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific supplier within a given account. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch supplier data for review, reporting, or further processing in workflows that manage procurement, vendor management, or financial operations.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Get the profile details of a supplier before creating a purchase order.
- Verify supplier information during an audit process.
- Integrate supplier data into a CRM or ERP system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Account Id | Identifier of the account to which the supplier belongs. This is required to specify the context of the supplier. |
| Supplier Id | Identifier of the supplier whose details are to be retrieved. This uniquely identifies the supplier within the specified account. |
Output
The output will contain a JSON object representing the supplier's details as returned by the API. This typically includes fields such as supplier name, contact information, address, status, and other relevant metadata associated with the supplier entity.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would generally represent attachments or documents related to the supplier, but based on the provided code and properties, the output is purely JSON data describing the supplier.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential or similar authentication token configured in n8n to access the external service managing suppliers.
- The node depends on an external REST API endpoint that provides supplier data.
- Proper configuration of the base URL and authentication credentials in n8n is necessary for successful API communication.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Account Id or Supplier Id: Ensure both identifiers are correctly provided and correspond to existing entities in the external system.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions to read supplier data.
- Network or connectivity issues: Check network settings and ensure the external API endpoint is reachable from the n8n environment.
- Unexpected API responses: If the API returns errors or unexpected data, consult the external service documentation or logs to diagnose issues like rate limiting or data inconsistencies.
Links and References
- Refer to the external supplier management API documentation for detailed information on the supplier data structure and available fields.
- n8n documentation on configuring API credentials and HTTP request nodes may help in setting up authentication properly.
