Overview
This node, named "Lark Apps," is designed to manage and obtain information about applications within the Lark platform. Specifically, the "Obtain Apps Information" operation allows users to retrieve detailed data about a particular app by specifying its app ID. This can be useful for administrators or developers who need to programmatically access app metadata, verify app details, or integrate app information into workflows.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching app details to display in a dashboard.
- Validating app configurations before deployment.
- Automating monitoring or auditing of apps installed in an organization.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Method of authentication to use when making API requests. Options: Tenant Token, OAuth2. |
| Lang | Specifies the language in which the app information is obtained. Accepts language codes as strings (e.g., "en", "zh-CN"). |
| App Id | The unique identifier of the app whose information is being requested. To query other apps, appropriate permissions are required. Use "me" to get info about the current app. |
| Options | Additional options for the request. Currently supports: - Use Custom Body (boolean): Whether to send a custom request body instead of default. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the app information retrieved from the Lark platform. The structure typically includes fields such as app name, description, app ID, permissions, and other metadata related to the specified app.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent files or media associated with the app, but this node focuses on JSON metadata output only.
Dependencies
- Requires valid authentication credentials, either via a Tenant Token or OAuth2 token, configured in n8n.
- Connects to the Lark Open APIs endpoint at
https://open.larksuite.com/open-apis. - Proper scopes/permissions must be granted to the credentials to allow querying app information, especially when accessing apps other than the current one.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Invalid or expired authentication tokens will cause authorization errors.
- Insufficient permissions/scopes may prevent access to app information for apps other than the current one.
- Providing an incorrect or non-existent app ID will result in not found or error responses.
- Error messages:
- Authorization errors: Check that the API key or OAuth token is valid and has the necessary scopes.
- 404 Not Found: Verify the app ID is correct and accessible.
- Request format errors: If using the custom body option, ensure the body is correctly structured as per API requirements.
