InvertextoInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Invertexto API to retrieve vehicle brand information from the FIPE database based on the type of vehicle. It is useful for workflows that require standardized vehicle brand data, such as automotive marketplaces, insurance platforms, or vehicle valuation services.

For example, a user can select the vehicle type (cars, motorcycles, or trucks) and get a list of corresponding brands available in the FIPE database, which is widely used in Brazil for vehicle price reference.

Properties

The "Vehicle Type" property lets you specify the category of vehicles for which you want to fetch brands. The options are:

• Cars
• Motorcycles
• Trucks

Output

The output is a JSON array containing the list of vehicle brands retrieved from the FIPE API for the selected vehicle type. Each item in the array typically includes brand identifiers and names as provided by the FIPE service.

Example output structure (simplified):

[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "name": "Brand Name 1"
  },
  {
    "id": "2",
    "name": "Brand Name 2"
  }
]

No binary data is returned by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active API key credential for the Invertexto API.
• The node makes HTTP GET requests to https://api.invertexto.com/v1/fipe/brands/{type}, where {type} is the vehicle type parameter.
• Ensure the API key is configured correctly in n8n credentials for authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing API key will cause authentication errors.
  • Providing an unsupported vehicle type value may result in empty or error responses.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or expired API keys; verify and update your credentials.
  • HTTP 404 or similar errors may mean incorrect endpoint usage or invalid parameters.
  • Timeout or network errors suggest checking internet connection or API availability.
