Actions6
Overview
This node interacts with a URL shortening service API, providing various operations related to URL management and account information. Specifically, the "Informações Da Conta" (Account Information) operation retrieves details about the authenticated user's account. This can be useful for users who want to monitor their account status, usage limits, or other metadata provided by the URL shortening service.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically fetching account quota or usage statistics before performing bulk URL shortening.
- Displaying account info in dashboards or reports integrated via n8n.
- Validating account status as part of workflow conditions.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Obter Informações Da Conta | Hidden property that triggers retrieval of the authenticated user's account information. |
Note: The node supports multiple operations, but here only the "Informações Da Conta" operation is relevant.
Output
The output is a JSON array containing the account information retrieved from the URL shortening service API. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as user ID, account type, usage statistics, limits, and other metadata describing the user's account.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the URL shortening service.
- The node depends on the external URL shortening API to fetch account information.
- Proper configuration of the API credential within n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Network connectivity problems may prevent reaching the URL shortening service.
- API rate limits might restrict how often account info can be fetched.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
- Timeout or network errors suggest checking internet connection or API service status.
- Unexpected API responses may require reviewing API documentation or contacting support.
