Overview
This node interacts with the WaAPI API to retrieve information about a specific instance by its ID. It is useful when you need to fetch detailed data about an individual instance from the WaAPI service, for example, to display or process instance-specific information in your workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | The unique identifier of the instance to retrieve |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved instance details as returned by the WaAPI API. This typically includes all relevant fields describing the instance's state and attributes. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the WaAPI API.
- The node makes HTTP requests to
https://waapi.app/api/v1. - Ensure the credential providing access to WaAPI is configured correctly in n8n.
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 can prevent reaching the WaAPI endpoint.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
- "Instance not found" errors suggest the provided ID does not exist; double-check the ID value.
- Timeout or connection errors may require checking network settings or retrying later.
