Clash of Clans

Overview

This node integrates with the Clash of Clans API to retrieve detailed information about various game entities. Specifically, the "Get Capital District Info" operation fetches detailed data about a specific capital district within the game, identified by its unique Capital District ID. This is useful for players or analysts who want to obtain up-to-date information on particular capital districts such as Barbarian Camp (ID 70000000) and others.

Practical examples include:

• Retrieving stats or details about a capital district to analyze its features or status.
• Integrating Clash of Clans capital district data into dashboards or reports.
• Automating monitoring of capital districts for clan management or competitive analysis.

Properties

Dependencies

• Requires an active Clash of Clans API key credential configured in n8n.
• The node makes HTTP requests to the official Clash of Clans API endpoint at https://api.clashofclans.com/v1.
• Proper API authentication via Bearer token is mandatory.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Capital District ID: If the provided ID does not exist or is malformed, the API may return a 404 error. Verify the ID is correct and corresponds to a valid capital district.
• Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API token will cause authorization failures. Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
• Rate Limits: The Clash of Clans API enforces rate limits. Excessive requests may result in throttling or temporary blocking. Implement retries or delays if needed.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
• Unexpected API Changes: If the API changes, the node might fail or return unexpected data. Keep the node and credentials updated accordingly.
