Overview
The HostBill node for n8n allows you to interact with the HostBill API, specifically to retrieve a list of clients using the "Client" resource and the "Get All" operation. This node is useful in scenarios where you need to automate the extraction of client data from your HostBill instance, such as syncing client lists with other systems, generating reports, or triggering workflows based on client information.
Example use cases:
- Fetching all clients from HostBill to update a CRM.
- Periodically exporting client data for backup or analysis.
- Integrating HostBill client records with marketing or support tools.

Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing a client retrieved from HostBill. The exact structure of each client object depends on the HostBill API response, but typically includes fields such as client ID, name, contact details, and other relevant attributes.
If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an object with an error field containing the error message.
