Overview
This node integrates with the Lexware API to perform various operations on different resources such as Articles, Contacts, Invoices, and more. Specifically, for the "Articles" resource with the "Get" operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single article identified by its unique Article ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch up-to-date data about a specific article from your Lexware system, for example, to display article details in a dashboard or to use the article data in further workflow steps.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Article ID | The unique identifier of the article to retrieve. This is required to specify which article's details should be fetched. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the retrieved article(s). Each object contains the detailed data fields of the article as returned by the Lexware API. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes properties like article name, description, price, stock levels, and other relevant metadata.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would typically represent files or attachments related to the article, but this is not applicable for the "Get" operation on Articles.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Lexware API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on the Lexware API being accessible and the provided Article ID being valid.
- No additional external dependencies are indicated.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Article ID will cause the node to fail to retrieve data.
- Network connectivity problems or incorrect API credentials can result in authentication errors.
- If the specified article does not exist, the API may return an error or empty response.
Error messages:
"Unsupported resource: articles"— indicates a misconfiguration in the resource parameter; ensure "Articles" is selected.- API errors related to authorization or invalid IDs will typically be passed through; verify credentials and input values.
Resolutions:
- Double-check that the Article ID is correct and exists in the Lexware system.
- Verify that the API key credential is properly set up and has sufficient permissions.
- Ensure network access to the Lexware API endpoint.
