Use the Commanders Act API

Actions108

Overview

This node integrates with the Commanders Act API to manage various resources related to data governance, marketing, and analytics. Specifically, for the Data Cleansing resource with the Get Cleansing Transformations operation, it retrieves details about a specific data cleansing transformation by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you want to fetch and review the configuration or status of cleansing transformations applied to your data, helping ensure data quality and consistency.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching a cleansing transformation to audit or verify its rules.
  • Integrating with workflows that monitor or report on data cleansing processes.
  • Automating retrieval of cleansing transformation details for further processing or decision-making.

Properties

Name Meaning
Cleansing Transformation ID The unique identifier of the cleansing transformation to retrieve. Required for operations that get, update, or delete a specific cleansing transformation.
Query Parameters Optional parameters to refine or filter the request. Includes options such as: end, filter (with subfields like begin_date, end_date, search, etc.), granularity, include, page, sort, source, start, and token. These allow fine-tuning of the API query.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the Commanders Act API corresponding to the requested cleansing transformation. The output structure depends on the API's response but generally includes details about the cleansing transformation such as its ID, name, rules, status, creation date, and other metadata.

If the API returns binary data (not typical for this operation), it would be included accordingly, but this operation primarily deals with JSON data representing cleansing transformations.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Commanders Act API.
  • Needs valid API credentials including a site ID and an API token.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to the Commanders Act API endpoint at https://api.commander1.com/v2.
  • Proper configuration of credentials in n8n is necessary before using this node.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing API credentials, ensure that the Commanders Act API credentials are correctly set up in n8n.
  • Missing Cleansing Transformation ID: For operations that require a cleansing transformation ID (like Get, Update, Delete), the node will throw an error if this ID is not provided. Make sure to supply this property.
  • API Request Errors: Errors returned from the API (e.g., 404 Not Found if the ID does not exist) will be surfaced as node errors. Verify the correctness of IDs and query parameters.
  • Invalid JSON in Query Parameters or Request Body: If JSON fields are malformed, the node may fail to parse them. Ensure all JSON inputs are valid.
  • Empty or No Content Response: The node handles empty responses by returning a "204 No Content" status object.
