Overview
This node integrates with the "Clientes Online" URL Shortener API, allowing users to manage and retrieve information about shortened URLs. Specifically, the "URL - Informações" operation fetches detailed information about a specific shortened URL by its ID. This is useful for scenarios where you need to monitor or audit URL usage, check statistics, or verify URL metadata.
Practical examples include:
- Retrieving click statistics or metadata for a marketing campaign URL.
- Verifying the status or details of a shortened link before sharing it.
- Auditing URLs managed within your account for compliance or reporting.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID Da URL | The unique identifier of the URL to retrieve detailed information about. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified shortened URL. This typically includes metadata such as the original URL, creation date, click statistics, and other relevant attributes provided by the API.
If the API supports binary data (e.g., QR codes or images related to the URL), the node would output this in a binary field; however, based on the code and properties, the primary output is structured JSON data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Clientes Online URL Shortener API.
- The node depends on the external Clientes Online URL Shortener service being accessible.
- Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing URL ID: Ensure the "ID Da URL" property is correctly set and corresponds to an existing shortened URL.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
- Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and the status of the Clientes Online API service.
Error messages:
- Errors indicating invalid credentials usually mean the API key is incorrect or expired.
- Errors about missing parameters suggest the URL ID was not provided or is malformed.
- Timeout or network errors indicate connectivity problems; retry or check network settings.
Resolving these typically involves verifying input parameters, refreshing credentials, and ensuring stable network access.
