Get data from the Bedrijfsdata API.

Actions30

Overview

The node interacts with the Bedrijfsdata API to retrieve news items related to a specific company identified by its Bedrijfsdata.nl ID. It is designed to fetch multiple news articles about a company, optionally filtered by a search query. This node is useful for scenarios where users want to monitor recent news or updates about companies they track, such as market analysts, sales teams, or business intelligence applications.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically gathering latest news about a client company to keep sales or support teams informed.
  • Filtering news items by keywords to focus on relevant topics like mergers, product launches, or financial results.
  • Retrieving detailed metadata about news queries including total number of items found and credit usage statistics.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bedrijfsdata.nl ID (Required) The unique identifier of the company in the Bedrijfsdata.nl system for which news items are retrieved.
Search Query (Optional) A text string to filter news items by specific keywords or phrases.
Detailed Output (Optional) Boolean flag to request detailed output including total news count and credit usage. When enabled, returns a single detailed item instead of an array of news items.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing news items related to the specified company:

  • By default, the output is an array of news objects, each representing a news article about the company.
  • If "Detailed Output" is enabled, the output contains a single object with additional metadata fields such as total number of news items found and credit usage information.
  • The exact structure of each news item depends on the API response but typically includes fields like title, date, source, and summary.
  • The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Bedrijfsdata API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node makes HTTP GET requests to the /news endpoint of the Bedrijfsdata API.
  • No other external dependencies are required.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Bedrijfsdata.nl ID: The node requires a valid company ID; ensure this is provided and correct.
  • Empty or no news results: If no news matches the criteria, the output may be empty. Try adjusting or removing the search query.
  • API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • Rate limits or quota exceeded: The API may limit requests or credits; enabling detailed output can help monitor credit usage.
  • Unexpected API responses: Network issues or API changes might cause errors; check error messages for details and consult Bedrijfsdata API documentation.
