Overview
The node named "Hardcover" integrates with the Hardcover API to perform various operations related to resources such as users, lists, books, editions, authors, publishers, series, and search functionalities. Specifically, for the "List" resource with the operation "Get List(s) By User ID," the node retrieves one or more lists associated with a specified user ID.
This node is beneficial in scenarios where you want to programmatically access reading lists, wishlists, or any curated collections tied to a particular user within the Hardcover system. For example, it can be used to fetch all book lists created by a user for further processing, display, or integration into other workflows.

If an error occurs during execution and the node is configured to continue on failure, the output will include a JSON object with an error field describing the issue.
The node does not explicitly handle binary data output.
