Overview
This node integrates with the Lexware API to retrieve data about countries. Specifically, the "Get Many" operation under the "Countries" resource fetches multiple country records from the Lexware system. This is useful for workflows that require access to standardized country information, such as populating dropdowns, validating addresses, or enriching customer data with geographic details.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically retrieving a list of all countries supported by your business software.
- Using the country data to validate shipping addresses in an e-commerce workflow.
- Synchronizing country lists between Lexware and other systems.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |

| Return All | Boolean option to either return all available country records (true) or limit results (false). |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing countries retrieved from Lexware. Each object typically contains country-specific fields such as country code, name, and possibly other metadata defined by the Lexware API.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent file contents or attachments related to countries, but this node focuses on JSON data output only.
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 properly authenticated.
- No additional external services are required beyond Lexware.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Authentication failures due to invalid or missing API credentials.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Lexware API.
- Unsupported resource or operation errors if parameters are misconfigured.
Error messages:
"Unsupported resource: countries"— indicates the resource parameter was not recognized; ensure "countries" is selected.- API errors returned from Lexware (e.g., rate limits, permission denied) should be checked in the node's error output and resolved by verifying API permissions and usage limits.
