Lectful

Interact with the VIPay Lectful API

Overview

This node integrates with the Lectful API, enabling users to interact programmatically with various aspects of the Lectful learning platform. Specifically, for the Learning Path - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific learning path by its ID.

Typical use cases include:

  • Fetching details of a particular learning path to display or process in workflows.
  • Automating reporting or analytics on learning paths.
  • Integrating learning path data into other systems or dashboards.

For example, you might use this node to get the structure and metadata of a learning path to customize user experiences or trigger further automation based on the learning path content.

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 Informational note shown when using Manual Configuration mode explaining credential usage.
Base URL Override Optional base URL to override the stored credential's base URL (without /api/v1).
API Key Override Optional API key to override the stored credential's API key.
Learning Path ID The unique identifier of the learning path to retrieve. This is required for the "Get" operation.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing the response from the Lectful API for the requested learning path. The JSON structure corresponds directly to the API's learning path resource representation, typically including fields such as:

  • id: The learning path's unique identifier.
  • title: The name/title of the learning path.
  • description: Description or summary of the learning path.
  • Other metadata and nested structures related to courses or sections within the learning path.

No binary data output is involved in 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 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 provided correctly, the node will throw an error indicating missing or invalid credentials. Ensure that either valid credentials are configured in n8n or manual base URL and API key are supplied.
  • Base URL Override required in manual mode: When using manual authentication mode, the base URL override must be provided; otherwise, an error is thrown.
  • Invalid Learning Path ID: Providing an incorrect or non-existent learning path ID will result in an API error. Verify the ID before running the node.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect base URLs can cause request failures. Confirm network access and correct API endpoint.
  • Parsing errors: The node attempts to parse string responses as JSON. If the API returns malformed JSON, parsing may fail.
