Overview
This node interacts with a URL shortening service API, allowing users to perform various operations related to URL management. Specifically, the "Informações Da URL" (URL Details) operation retrieves detailed information about a specific shortened URL by its ID. This is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch metadata or analytics about a particular URL, such as click statistics, creation date, or campaign association.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching details of a shortened URL to display in reports.
- Verifying the status or properties of a URL before sharing it.
- Integrating URL analytics into marketing dashboards.

Output
The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified URL. This typically includes metadata such as the original long URL, shortened URL, creation date, click statistics, and any associated campaign or account information. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally provides comprehensive insights into the URL's usage and attributes.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the URL shortening service.
- The node depends on the external URL Shortener API to fetch URL details.
- 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 URL in the service.
- 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 external URL shortening service.
Error Messages:
- Errors indicating unauthorized access usually mean the API key is invalid or expired.
- Not found errors suggest the provided URL ID does not exist.
- Timeout or network errors imply connectivity issues; retry or check network settings.
Resolving these typically involves verifying input parameters, refreshing credentials, and ensuring stable network connections.
