Overview
This node is designed to interact with a user management system, specifically to retrieve information about a single user by their unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch detailed data about a specific user, such as for profile display, auditing, or integration with other systems.
For example, you might use this node to get the full details of a user when processing an event triggered by that user's activity or to synchronize user data between platforms.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier (primary key) of the user to retrieve. This is a required string input and should be provided in UUID format (e.g., "72a1ce24-4748-47de-a05f-ce9af3033727"). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the user object corresponding to the provided ID. This typically includes all available fields for the user, such as name, email, roles, status, and any custom attributes defined in the user management system.
If the user is found, the output will contain a JSON object with the user's details. If not found, the output may be empty or contain an error message depending on the underlying API behavior.
No binary data output is expected from this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the user management system's API.
- Needs proper authentication credentials (such as an API key or token) configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The node depends on internal methods and routing logic bundled within its implementation but does not require external libraries beyond those included.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or malformed user ID will result in errors or no data returned.
- Missing or incorrect authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
- "User not found" or similar indicates the specified ID does not exist.
- Authentication errors suggest checking the configured API credentials.
- Timeout or network errors imply connectivity issues.
To resolve these, verify the user ID format, ensure valid credentials are set up, and confirm network access to the API endpoint.
Links and References
- Refer to the user management system's official API documentation for details on user object structure and authentication requirements.
- Consult n8n documentation on setting up API credentials and using HTTP request nodes if needed.
