Overview

This node operation "Get A Supplier" under the "Suppliers" resource is designed to retrieve detailed information about a specific supplier within an account. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch supplier data for review, reporting, or integration with other systems. For example, a finance team might use this node to pull supplier details before processing payments or reconciling accounts.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account Id Identifier of the account to which the supplier belongs. This is required to specify the context of the supplier.
Supplier Id Identifier of the specific supplier to retrieve. This uniquely identifies the supplier within the given account.

Output

The output will contain a JSON object representing the supplier's details as retrieved from the external service. The structure typically includes fields such as supplier name, contact information, status, and any other metadata associated with the supplier. There is no indication that binary data is returned by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or similar authentication token configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • Depends on connectivity to the external API endpoint specified by the base URL in the credentials.
  • The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content negotiation (Accept: application/json and Content-Type: application/json).

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Account Id or Supplier Id: Ensure both identifiers are provided and correctly formatted; otherwise, the API may return errors indicating missing parameters or not found resources.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions to access supplier data.
  • Network issues: Check network connectivity and the correctness of the base URL in the credentials.
  • API rate limits or downtime: If the API returns rate limit errors or service unavailable messages, consider implementing retries or checking the service status.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external API documentation for detailed schema of the supplier object and additional query options.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and handle HTTP request nodes for custom integrations.
