Overview
This node integrates with the Foreplay API to perform various operations related to advertising data. Specifically, the "Get All Brands by Board ID" operation retrieves all brands associated with a specified board ID. This is useful for marketers or analysts who want to gather brand information linked to particular advertising boards for further analysis or reporting.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching all brands running ads on a specific board to analyze competitive presence.
- Aggregating brand data from multiple boards to monitor market trends.
- Integrating brand data into dashboards or CRM systems for enhanced marketing insights.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Board ID | The unique identifier of the board to search ads for. Required to specify which board's brands to retrieve. |
| Limit | Maximum number of results to return. Controls how many brand entries are fetched in one execution. Defaults to 5. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects under the json field. Each object corresponds to the response from the Foreplay API for the requested operation. For "Get All Brands by Board ID," this will typically be a list of brand details associated with the given board ID.
If the API returns binary data (not indicated here), it would be included accordingly, but this operation primarily deals with JSON data representing brand information.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Foreplay API.
- The base URL for the API must be configured in the credentials.
- The node uses HTTP requests with authentication to communicate with the Foreplay API endpoints.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid operation error: If the operation name is incorrect or not supported, the node throws an "Invalid operation" error. Ensure the operation parameter is set exactly as defined.
- Authentication failures: Errors related to API key or base URL misconfiguration can cause request failures. Verify that the API credentials are correctly set up.
- Empty or missing Board ID: Since Board ID is required, omitting it or providing an invalid value may result in errors or empty responses.
- API rate limits or network issues: These can cause request failures; check network connectivity and API usage quotas.
