Lectful

Interact with the VIPay Lectful API

Overview

This node interacts with the Lectful API to manage blog-related data, specifically supporting operations on blog tags in a public context. The "Get Tags (Public)" operation retrieves a list of all blog tags that are publicly available.

Typical use cases include:

  • Fetching all public blog tags to display tag clouds or filters on a website.
  • Integrating blog tag data into other workflows or content management systems.
  • Automating content categorization or tagging processes based on existing tags.

For example, a user might use this node operation to dynamically populate a dropdown menu of blog tags for filtering blog posts on a public-facing site.

Authentication Mode Choose how to authenticate with the Lectful API:
- Use Stored Credentials
- Manual Configuration
Credentials Note Informational note shown when using Manual Configuration mode about credential usage

Output

The output is an array of JSON objects representing the blog tags retrieved from the Lectful API. Each object typically contains details about a blog tag such as its ID, name, and possibly other metadata provided by the API.

The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes fields like:

[
  {
    "id": 123,
    "name": "TagName",
    ...
  },
  ...
]

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Lectful API.
  • Requires either stored credentials configured in n8n or manual entry of the base URL and API key.
  • The node uses HTTP requests with Bearer token authentication.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond standard HTTP request capabilities.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: If neither stored credentials nor manual overrides are properly set, the node will throw errors indicating missing base URL or API key. Ensure credentials are correctly configured or manual parameters are provided.
  • API endpoint errors: If the Lectful API is unreachable or returns errors, verify network connectivity and API key validity.
  • Incorrect Per Page value: Setting an excessively high number may cause performance issues or API limits; use reasonable pagination values.
  • Parsing errors: If the API returns unexpected data formats, the node may fail to parse the response. Check API status and version compatibility.
