Overview

This node operation, "Get Retrieve Custom Profile" under the "External Scan" resource, is designed to fetch a custom user profile from an external service. It allows users to specify a unique user identifier and optionally refine the query with additional parameters such as filtering conditions, pagination controls (skip and limit), and sorting order. This functionality is useful in scenarios where you need to retrieve detailed profile information for a specific user, for example, in customer management systems, personalized dashboards, or audit logs.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving a user's custom profile data by their user ID.
  • Fetching a subset of profiles based on certain conditions or filters.
  • Paginating through large sets of profile data.
  • Ordering the results according to specified criteria.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The unique identifier of the user whose custom profile is to be retrieved.
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to refine the query:
- Condition: Filter condition string.
- Skip: Number of records to skip (for pagination).
- Limit: Maximum number of records to return.
- Order By: Field(s) to sort the results by.

Output

The output of this node operation is JSON data representing the retrieved custom profile(s) corresponding to the specified user ID and query parameters. The structure typically includes user profile fields as defined by the external service's API response. There is no indication that binary data is returned by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node uses HTTP headers and query parameters to communicate with the external API.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid User ID: Since the user ID is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause the request to fail. Ensure the "X USER ID" property is correctly set.
  • API authentication errors: If the API key or credentials are not properly configured, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify that the API key credential is valid and correctly linked.
  • Invalid query parameters: Providing unsupported or malformed query parameters in the additional options may result in errors or unexpected responses. Double-check parameter names and values.
  • Network or connectivity issues: Failures to reach the external service could be due to network problems or incorrect base URL configuration.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service’s API documentation for details on the custom profile endpoint, supported query parameters, and response schema.
