Overview
This node interacts with a URL shortening service API to perform various operations related to URLs and campaigns. Specifically, the "Informações Da URL" (URL Information) operation retrieves detailed information about a specific shortened URL using its ID. This is useful for scenarios where you need to analyze or manage individual URLs, such as checking their status, click statistics, or metadata.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching analytics data for a particular shortened URL.
- Verifying the destination or status of a URL before sharing it.
- Integrating URL details into reports or dashboards.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID Da URL | The unique identifier of the URL to retrieve detailed information for. This is required to specify which URL's details to fetch. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified URL. This typically includes metadata such as the original long URL, creation date, click statistics, campaign association, and other relevant attributes provided by the URL shortening service.
If the service supports binary data (e.g., QR codes or images related to the URL), it would be included in the binary output; however, based on the code, this node primarily returns JSON data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the URL shortening service.
- The node depends on the external URL shortening API to fetch URL details.
- Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing URL ID: Ensure the "ID Da URL" property is correctly set and corresponds to an existing URL in the service.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
- Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and the status of the external URL shortening service.
Common error messages:
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Indicates issues with the API key; reconfigure credentials.
- "URL not found" or similar: The provided URL ID does not exist; double-check the ID.
- Timeout or network errors: May require retrying or checking network settings.
