Overview
This node integrates with the SimplyBook.me API to retrieve data related to various resources, including categories. Specifically, the "Get Categories" operation fetches a list of service categories from SimplyBook.me. This is useful for workflows that need to dynamically access or display available categories, such as booking systems, reporting tools, or synchronization processes.
A practical example would be an automation that pulls all service categories to populate a dropdown menu in a user interface or to filter bookings by category.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Additional Category Filter | A collection of optional filters to refine the categories retrieved. |
| - Search | A string to search within category names or descriptions, filtering the results accordingly. |
The "Additional Category Filter" currently supports one option:
- Search: Allows specifying a text query to filter categories by matching this search term.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the categories retrieved from SimplyBook.me. Each item in the output typically includes details about a category such as its ID, name, and possibly other metadata provided by the API.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for SimplyBook.me to authenticate requests.
- The base URL for API requests is taken from the provided credentials.
- No additional external dependencies are required beyond the SimplyBook.me API.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: If the node fails due to authentication, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Empty results: Using the search filter with no matching categories will return an empty array; try broadening or removing the search term.
- API connectivity issues: Ensure the SimplyBook.me service is reachable and the base URL in credentials is correct.
- Invalid filter format: Filters must be provided according to the expected structure; malformed filters may cause request failures.
