Overview

This node interacts with a user management API to retrieve heatmap data for a specified user. It is useful in scenarios where you want to visualize or analyze user activity patterns over time, such as contribution heatmaps on code hosting platforms or user engagement tracking in applications. For example, you might use this node to fetch the daily commit activity of a developer or monitor how frequently a user interacts with a service.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the heatmap information related to the specified user. This typically includes structured data representing user activity over time (e.g., dates and corresponding activity counts). The exact structure depends on the API response but generally allows visualization of user activity intensity across a calendar or timeline.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication to the target service.
• The node communicates with the service's REST API endpoint configured via credentials, including the base URL.
• Proper configuration of the API URL and authentication token is necessary in n8n credentials settings.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing username input will cause the node to fail or return no data.
  • Incorrect or expired API credentials can lead to authentication errors.
  • Network connectivity problems or incorrect base URL configuration may result in request failures.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid API tokens; verify and update credentials.
  • "User not found" or similar errors suggest the username does not exist or is misspelled.
  • Timeout or connection errors require checking network access and API endpoint availability.

Links and References

• Refer to the API documentation of the user management or code hosting platform for details on heatmap data endpoints.
