Clash of Clans

Overview

This node integrates with the Clash of Clans API to retrieve detailed information about clans, players, wars, locations, leagues, and other game-related data. Specifically, the "Get Clan" operation fetches comprehensive information about a particular clan using its unique clan tag.

Use cases include:

• Retrieving clan details such as name, level, points, members count, and description.
• Monitoring clan status or changes for community management or analytics.
• Integrating clan data into dashboards or reports.
• Automating workflows that depend on clan information, e.g., notifying when clan stats change.

Example: You can input a clan tag like #ABC123 to get all available data about that clan, which can then be used to update your app or trigger further automation steps.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a JSON object containing the following structure:

• operation: The operation performed, here "getClan".
• url: The full API endpoint URL used for the request.
• data: The raw response data from the Clash of Clans API representing the clan information. This includes all clan details returned by the API.
• timestamp: The ISO timestamp when the data was processed.
• metadata: Additional metadata including:
  • operationType: Categorizes the operation type (e.g., "clan").
  • apiVersion: The version of the API used ("v1").
  • processedAt: Timestamp of processing.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for the Clash of Clans API to authenticate requests.
• The node makes HTTP requests to the official Clash of Clans API endpoint at https://api.clashofclans.com/v1.
• Proper configuration of the API key in n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Clan Tag: If the clan tag does not start with # or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Ensure the clan tag is correctly formatted.
• Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API token will cause authorization failures. Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has proper permissions.
• API Rate Limits: Frequent requests may hit rate limits imposed by the Clash of Clans API. Implement delays or error handling to manage this.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
• Error Messages: The node throws errors with context indicating the item index in batch operations. Use these messages to identify problematic inputs.
