Interact with Outscraper API

Actions49

Overview

The "Company Insight" resource with the "Get Insights" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about companies based on their domains or websites. This node interacts with an external API service to fetch enriched company data, which can include various insights depending on the specified enrichments.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Market research: Gathering comprehensive data about competitor companies.
  • Lead enrichment: Enhancing CRM records with additional company details.
  • Data validation: Verifying company information from domain names or URLs.
  • Automated workflows: Triggering actions based on company insights in marketing or sales pipelines.

For example, a user might input a list of company domains and request specific enrichments such as financial data or social media presence. The node can perform synchronous or asynchronous requests and optionally send results to a webhook URL when processing is complete.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query Domains or websites to query (e.g., dominopark.com, https://www.esbnyc.com/). Required.
Enrichment Comma-separated list of enrichments to apply to the company data.
Async Request Boolean flag indicating whether to make the request asynchronously (true or false).
Webhook URL to which the external service will POST the results once the asynchronous task finishes.
Additional Fields Collection of optional fields:
- Fields Comma-separated list of specific fields to return in the response.
- UI Boolean flag indicating whether to execute the request as a UI task (true or false).

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the company insights retrieved from the external API. The structure typically includes detailed information about each queried domain or website, enriched according to the requested parameters.

If the asynchronous mode is enabled, the output may initially contain task status or identifiers, with final results delivered via the specified webhook URL.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Outscraper API service.
  • The base URL and API key must be configured in the node's credentials.
  • For asynchronous requests, a publicly accessible webhook URL is needed to receive callbacks.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid API key: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and valid.
  • Invalid domain or URL format: Verify that the "Query" property contains properly formatted domain names or URLs.
  • Webhook not reachable: When using asynchronous requests, confirm that the webhook URL is accessible and can accept POST requests.
  • Request limits or quota exceeded: Check the API usage limits and ensure you have sufficient quota.
  • Empty or incomplete responses: Use the "Fields" property to specify required fields explicitly; otherwise, default data may be limited.
