Overview
The "Mailgroup" node allows interaction with a mailgroup instance via its API. Specifically, the "List" resource with the "Get" operation enables users to retrieve paginated lists of elements from the mailgroup system. This is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch batches of data such as mailing lists, subscribers, or other grouped entities in manageable chunks.
Practical examples include:
- Retrieving a specific page of mailing list entries for processing or display.
- Fetching subscriber data in pages to avoid overloading the system or hitting API limits.
- Automating periodic data syncs by iterating through pages of results.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Page | The page number to query (e.g., 1 for first page). |
| Per Page | Number of elements to retrieve per page (e.g., 25 items). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the requested page of list elements from the mailgroup API. The structure typically includes an array of items corresponding to the queried page and metadata about pagination (such as total count or next page availability), depending on the API response.
If binary data were involved, it would be summarized here, but this node focuses on JSON data retrieval.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential with username and password authentication to access the mailgroup API.
- The base URL for API requests is constructed dynamically from the provided domain credential.
- The node expects the mailgroup API to respond with JSON-formatted data.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure that the API credentials (username, password, and domain) are correctly configured and valid.
- Pagination issues: If no data is returned, verify that the "Page" and "Per Page" values are within valid ranges supported by the API.
- Network errors: Check connectivity to the mailgroup API endpoint and confirm that the domain URL is correct without trailing slashes.
- Unexpected response format: Confirm that the mailgroup API version matches what the node expects and that the API returns JSON.
