Overview

This node integrates with the sevDesk API to retrieve financial data related to check accounts. Specifically, the "Get Balance at Date" operation fetches the balance of a specified check account as of a given date. This is useful for accounting and bookkeeping scenarios where users need to track historical balances or reconcile accounts at specific points in time.

Practical examples include:

  • Generating financial reports that require the balance of a bank or check account on a particular date.
  • Auditing transactions by comparing balances across different dates.
  • Automating workflows that depend on account balances at month-end or quarter-end.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID of Check Account The unique numeric identifier of the check account whose balance you want to retrieve.
Date The specific date (and time) for which to get the balance of the check account.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the balance information of the specified check account at the requested date. The exact structure depends on the sevDesk API response but typically includes fields such as:

  • Account ID
  • Date queried
  • Balance amount
  • Currency

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent any attached documents or statements related to the account balance, but this is not indicated in the provided code snippet.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the sevDesk API.
  • Users must provide valid API authentication credentials (an API key or token) configured within n8n.
  • The node sends HTTP requests to https://my.sevdesk.de/api/v1/.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing Check Account ID: Ensure the ID is correct and corresponds to an existing check account in sevDesk.
  • Date format issues: The date must be provided in a valid datetime format; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions.
  • Network or API downtime: Confirm network connectivity and sevDesk service status if requests fail.
  • Common error messages will relate to invalid parameters or unauthorized access; resolving these involves checking input values and credential validity.
