Consume Fireberry API

Overview

The node integrates with the Fireberry API to perform various data operations on Fireberry objects. Specifically, the "Create Batch" operation allows users to create multiple records in a specified Fireberry object type in one request. This is useful for bulk data insertion scenarios such as importing large datasets, syncing external databases, or batch processing user inputs.

For example, you might use this node to upload a list of new customer records into a CRM system managed by Fireberry, or to add multiple product entries at once into an inventory management system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Object Type Name or ID The Fireberry object type where the records will be created. Choose from a dropdown or specify an ID via expression.
Records A JSON array of record objects to create. Each record is an object with field names as keys and their corresponding values.

Example of the Records property value:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "Key": "New Value"
    }
  ]
}

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the batch creation operation. Typically, this includes information about the newly created records, such as their IDs and any other metadata returned by the Fireberry API.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent file attachments or similar content related to the created records, but this operation focuses on JSON data only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Fireberry API.
  • Requires an API authentication credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • Uses internal methods to load options dynamically for object types and fields.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the Fireberry API and n8n environment.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing object type: Ensure the selected object type exists and is accessible with your API credentials.
    • Malformed JSON in the Records property: Verify that the JSON array of records is correctly formatted.
    • API authentication errors: Confirm that the API key or token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or connectivity problems: Check your network connection and Fireberry API availability.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation \"createBatch\" is not supported!": This indicates an unsupported operation was requested; verify the operation parameter.
    • Errors related to invalid input data typically mention which field or record caused the issue.

Resolving these usually involves correcting the input parameters, ensuring proper API credentials, and validating JSON syntax.
