Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard PXL API to read information about a specific short link. It is useful when you want to retrieve details of an existing shortened URL by providing its unique identifier. For example, if you have created or received a short link and need to fetch metadata or verify its existence, this node can perform that lookup.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id Unique identifier for each short link. This is a composite text of the domain and route (e.g., pxl.to/mylink). Prepending https:// forms the full URL of the short link. This property is required to specify which short link to read.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested short link. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as the original URL, creation date, click statistics, or other metadata associated with the short link.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard PXL API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.pxl.to/api.
  • The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content (Accept: application/json, Content-Type: application/json).

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing Id: If the provided short link Id is incorrect or empty, the API will likely return an error indicating the resource was not found. Ensure the Id matches the expected format (domain + route).
  • Authentication errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to https://api.pxl.to/api will prevent the node from retrieving data. Check network access and firewall settings.
  • API rate limits or service downtime: If the API enforces rate limits or is temporarily unavailable, requests may fail. Review API status and usage quotas.
