Clash of Clans

Overview

This node integrates with the Clash of Clans API to retrieve various types of game data. Specifically, the "Get Locations" operation fetches a list of locations available in Clash of Clans. This can be useful for applications that need to display or process location-based rankings, clan information, or player statistics filtered by geographic or regional areas.

Practical examples include:

• Displaying all available locations to users for filtering leaderboards.
• Using location IDs obtained here to query rankings or other location-specific data.
• Building dashboards or reports segmented by location.

Properties

Output

The output is an array of JSON objects, each containing the following structure:

{
  "operation": "getLocations",
  "url": "https://api.clashofclans.com/v1/locations?limit=50",
  "data": { /* API response JSON object with locations list */ },
  "timestamp": "2024-06-xxTxx:xx:xx.xxxZ",
  "metadata": {
    "operationType": "discovery",
    "apiVersion": "v1",
    "processedAt": "2024-06-xxTxx:xx:xx.xxxZ"
  }
}

• The data field contains the raw JSON response from the Clash of Clans API for locations.
• No binary data is output by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API token credential for the Clash of Clans API.
• The node makes HTTP requests to the official Clash of Clans API endpoint (https://api.clashofclans.com/v1).
• Proper API authentication must be configured in n8n credentials.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing API token will cause authentication errors.
  • Exceeding API rate limits may result in throttling or error responses.
  • Incorrect pagination parameters (e.g., invalid markers) might return empty or partial results.

• Error messages:

  • "Operation "getLocations" not supported": Indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation selection.
  • HTTP errors such as 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden suggest issues with API credentials.
  • Network errors or timeouts indicate connectivity problems.

• Resolutions:

  • Verify and update the API token credential.
  • Adjust pagination parameters carefully.
  • Check network connectivity and API status.
