Literal AI

Use the Literal AI API

Actions41

Overview

This node integrates with the Literal AI API to manage user data. Specifically, the "User - Get Many" operation retrieves multiple user records from the Literal AI service. This is useful when you want to fetch a list of users for reporting, synchronization, or batch processing purposes.

Practical examples:

  • Fetching a list of users to display in a dashboard.
  • Retrieving user data to synchronize with another system.
  • Exporting user information for analysis or backup.

Properties

Name Meaning
Return Item Count Maximum number of user records to return (minimum 1).

Output

The output contains a JSON object with a content field holding the response from the Literal AI API's user listing endpoint. This typically includes an array of user objects, each representing a user with their associated details as provided by the API.

Example structure of the output JSON:

{
  "content": {
    "users": [
      {
        "id": "string",
        "identifier": "string",
        "metadata": { /* user metadata object */ },
        // other user fields...
      }
      // more user objects...
    ],
    "totalCount": 123,
    // possibly other pagination or metadata fields
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Literal AI API.
  • The node uses the official Literal AI client library (@literalai/client) to interact with the API.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary before use.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key: The node will fail to authenticate with the Literal AI API.
    • Exceeding the maximum allowed limit: If the requested number of users exceeds API limits, the request may fail or be truncated.
    • Network connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failures.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Authentication failed": Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and valid.
    • "Request limit exceeded" or similar: Reduce the Return Item Count value to comply with API restrictions.
    • JSON parsing errors: Ensure that any input parameters expected as JSON are properly formatted (not applicable directly here but relevant for other operations).
