Overview

The "Detect Gender" operation of the "Operator" resource in this node is designed to determine the gender associated with a given first name. This can be useful in scenarios such as personalizing communications, demographic analysis, or user profiling where gender inference from a first name is needed.

For example, if you have a list of customer first names and want to segment them by likely gender for marketing campaigns, this operation can automate that classification.

Properties

Name Meaning
Code Variables A collection of code variables defined in the code editor for the selected function. Each variable has:
- Variable Name or ID: The identifier of the variable (selectable from a list or specified via expression).
- Value: The value assigned to that variable.
Detect Gender From Firstname The first name string from which the gender will be detected. This is a required input for the "Detect Gender" operation under the "Operator" resource.

Output

The output JSON field contains the result of the gender detection based on the provided first name. It typically includes information indicating the inferred gender category (e.g., male, female, unknown) corresponding to the input first name.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service powering the "0CodeKit" utilities.
  • The node makes HTTP POST requests to the endpoint path operator/gender with the parameter firstname.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API key credential.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Providing an empty or invalid first name string may result in errors or inconclusive gender detection.
    • Network connectivity issues or invalid API credentials will cause request failures.
  • Error Messages:

    • Errors related to missing or invalid API key credentials should be resolved by configuring the appropriate API authentication token in n8n.
    • If the response indicates an unrecognized first name, verify the input spelling or try alternative name formats.
    • JSON parsing errors might occur if the input parameters are malformed; ensure the "firstname" property is a valid string.
