myLIMSInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the myLIMS system, allowing users to retrieve information about accounts and works managed within myLIMS via its API. Specifically for the Account - Accounts operation, it fetches a list of account records from the system. This is useful in scenarios where you need to extract multiple account entries for reporting, synchronization, or further processing.

For example, you might use this node to:

• Retrieve a list of company accounts filtered by type or other criteria.
• Limit the number of returned accounts to optimize performance.
• Apply custom filters using the API's query syntax to get only relevant accounts.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing account records fetched from the myLIMS API. Each object corresponds to one account and contains all fields as provided by the API response.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the myLIMS API.
• Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
• The node uses HTTP GET requests to interact with the myLIMS REST endpoints.

Troubleshooting

• API Request failed: This error indicates that the request to the myLIMS API did not succeed. Common causes include invalid credentials, network issues, or incorrect filter syntax.
  • Verify your API credentials are correctly set up.
  • Check network connectivity to the myLIMS service.
  • Ensure the filter string follows the API's expected syntax.
• Unsupported resource: If you see this error, it means the selected resource or operation is not implemented in the node. Confirm you have chosen "Account" as the resource and "Accounts" as the operation.
