Artikel und Branchen aus der Wawi abrufen

Actions2

Overview

This node is designed to retrieve data from a Wawi (merchandise management) system via its API. It supports fetching either articles ("Artikel Abrufen") or industry sectors ("Branchen Abrufen"). The node is useful for integrating Wawi data into workflows, such as syncing product or industry information with other systems, automating reporting, or enriching datasets.

For the selected operation "Branchen Abrufen," the node fetches a list of industries from the Wawi API endpoint and outputs this data for further processing in n8n.

Practical example:
A user wants to automatically update their CRM with the latest industry classifications from their merchandise system. By using this node with the "Branchen Abrufen" operation, they can periodically pull updated industry data and push it into their CRM.

Properties

Name Meaning
API Key Your API key used for authenticating requests to the Wawi API.

The node also has an internal "Operation" property with options:

  • Artikel Abrufen (Fetch Articles)
  • Branchen Abrufen (Fetch Industries)

Since you requested only the "Branchen Abrufen" operation, the relevant endpoint is called accordingly.

Output

The node outputs a single JSON array containing the data retrieved from the Wawi API's industries endpoint. The structure of the JSON depends on the API response but typically includes details about various industry sectors.

Example output structure (simplified):

[
  {
    "id": "123",
    "name": "Industry Name",
    "description": "Description of the industry"
  },
  ...
]

No binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Wawi API at http://wawi24.test/api/branchen.
  • Requires a valid API key for authentication, provided as an input property.
  • No additional external services or environment variables are needed beyond the API key.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems to the API endpoint.
    • API endpoint URL hardcoded to http://wawi24.test/api/branchen may need adjustment if the actual service URL differs.

  • Error messages:

    • HTTP 401 Unauthorized: Check that the API key is correct and has necessary permissions.
    • HTTP 404 Not Found: Verify the API base URL and endpoint path.
    • Request timeout or network errors: Ensure the API server is reachable from your n8n instance.
