Overview

This node integrates with the Invertexto API to retrieve vehicle year and price information from the FIPE database, a widely used reference for vehicle pricing in Brazil. Specifically, the "Get Years" operation fetches available years and corresponding prices for a given vehicle model identified by its FIPE code.

This node is beneficial when you need to automate retrieval of up-to-date vehicle valuation data for applications such as:

  • Vehicle sales platforms that want to display current market prices.
  • Insurance companies assessing vehicle values.
  • Automotive marketplaces or comparison tools.

Example use case: Given a FIPE code for a specific car model, the node returns all available model years along with their respective price data, enabling dynamic pricing displays or historical price analysis.

Properties

Name Meaning
FIPE Code The unique FIPE code identifying the vehicle model for which to retrieve years and prices. This is a required string input.

Output

The output is a JSON array where each element contains data about a specific year and its associated price for the vehicle model identified by the FIPE code. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as:

  • Year identifier (e.g., model year)
  • Price information for that year
  • Possibly additional metadata related to the vehicle's valuation

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/years/{fipeCode}.
  • Proper configuration of the API key in n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing FIPE code will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Expired or incorrect API key will cause authorization failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • Authorization errors indicate issues with the API key; verify and update credentials.
    • "Not found" or similar errors suggest the FIPE code does not exist or is malformed; double-check the input.
    • Rate limiting or quota exceeded errors require checking your API usage limits.

  • To resolve errors, ensure the FIPE code is correct, the API key is valid, and network access to the API endpoint is available.
