Overview
This node, named "Avito Read Chat," is designed to retrieve chat messages from the Avito platform. It fetches the conversation data for a specific user and chat identified by their respective IDs using an API token for authentication. This node is useful in scenarios where you want to automate the retrieval of chat history or monitor conversations on Avito, such as integrating chat data into CRM systems, analytics dashboards, or customer support workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Token | The API authentication token used to authorize requests to the Avito service. |
| User Id | The identifier of the user whose chat messages are to be retrieved. |
| Chat Id | The identifier of the specific chat conversation to read messages from. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the chat data returned by the Avito API. Each element in the array represents a message or relevant chat information fetched from the specified chat. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes message content, sender details, timestamps, and other metadata related to the chat.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the Avito API.
- Needs a valid API token (authentication credential) to authorize requests.
- The node uses an internal helper method to return the data in JSON format.
- No additional environment variables or external services are explicitly required beyond the API token.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Token or Authentication Failure: If the provided token is invalid or expired, the API call will fail. Ensure the token is correct and has necessary permissions.
- Incorrect User Id or Chat Id: Providing wrong identifiers may result in empty responses or errors. Verify that the user and chat IDs exist and are accessible.
- API Rate Limits or Network Issues: Network failures or hitting API rate limits can cause errors. Check connectivity and API usage quotas.
- Empty or Unexpected Response: If the chat is empty or the API changes its response format, the output might not contain expected data. Confirm the chat contains messages and the API version matches expectations.
