Overview
This node interacts with the WaAPI API to retrieve the status of a specific client instance. It is useful in scenarios where you need to monitor or check the current state of a client instance identified by its unique ID. For example, it can be used in automation workflows that require conditional logic based on the client's operational status or for reporting purposes.
Properties

|---|---|
| Id | Instance ID (number) - The unique identifier of the client instance whose status you want to retrieve. This property is required. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the status information of the specified client instance. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields describing the current state and other relevant details about the instance.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the WaAPI API.
- The node sends requests to the base URL:
https://waapi.app/api/v1. - Proper configuration of the API authentication credential within n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing instance ID will cause the API call to fail.
- Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity problems may prevent reaching the WaAPI service.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
- "Instance not found" or similar errors suggest the provided ID does not exist; double-check the ID.
- Timeout or connection errors imply network issues; ensure stable internet access.
