Lectful

Interact with the VIPay Lectful API

Overview

This node integrates with the Lectful API, enabling users to interact programmatically with various resources such as courses, users, lectures, enrollments, and more. Specifically, for the Course - Get All operation, it retrieves a list of all available courses from the Lectful platform.

Typical use cases include:

  • Automatically syncing course lists into other systems or workflows.
  • Triggering downstream automation based on available courses.
  • Displaying or processing course data in custom dashboards or reports.

Example: A user can fetch all courses to display them in a learning management system dashboard or to filter and process courses matching certain criteria.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Mode Choose how to authenticate with the Lectful API:
- Use Stored Credentials
- Manual Configuration (provide base URL and API key manually)
Credentials Note Notice shown when using Manual Configuration mode explaining that credentials field can be left empty and overrides will be used instead.
Base URL Override Optional base URL to override the credential setting (without /api/v1). Used only in Manual Configuration mode.
API Key Override Optional API key to override the credential setting. Used only in Manual Configuration mode.

These properties control how the node authenticates requests to the Lectful API.

Output

The output is an array of JSON objects representing the response from the Lectful API for the "Get All Courses" request. Each object corresponds to a course and contains all course details as returned by the API.

The exact structure depends on the Lectful API's course representation but typically includes fields like course ID, title, subtitle, description, and possibly metadata about curriculum or enrollment status.

No binary data is output by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Lectful API endpoint.
  • Requires either stored credentials configured in n8n or manual input of the base URL and API key.
  • The API key must have permissions to read course data.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond standard HTTP requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: If neither stored credentials nor manual overrides are provided correctly, the node throws an error indicating missing or invalid credentials. Ensure you configure either stored credentials or provide valid manual base URL and API key.
  • Base URL Override required in manual mode: When using manual authentication mode, the base URL override must be provided; otherwise, an error is thrown.
  • API Key Override required in manual mode: Similarly, the API key override must be provided in manual mode.
  • API errors: If the Lectful API returns an error (e.g., unauthorized, not found), the node will throw an error with the message from the API. Check your API key permissions and resource availability.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the Lectful API endpoint will cause request failures. Verify network access and endpoint correctness.
