1001fx - NoCode functionsInstall

Overview

This node provides a "Parse String to JSON" operation under the "data" resource. It takes a string input and attempts to parse it into a JSON object. This is useful in scenarios where you receive data as a plain string (for example, from webhooks, APIs, or files) and need to convert it into structured JSON for further processing within your n8n workflow.

Practical examples:

• Parsing a JSON-formatted string received from an HTTP request.
• Converting CSV-to-JSON output that is delivered as a string.
• Handling user input or file content that needs to be transformed into JSON for downstream automation steps.

Properties

Output

• json: The output will be a JSON object resulting from parsing the provided string. If the string cannot be parsed as valid JSON, the output will contain an error message instead.

Example successful output:

{
  "key1": "value1",
  "key2": 123
}

Example error output:

{
  "error": "Unexpected token ... in JSON at position ..."
}

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to the 1001fx API (https://api.1001fx.com).
• API Key: Needs 1001fxApi credentials configured in n8n.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Invalid JSON String: If the input string is not valid JSON, the node will return an error message in the output.
  • Missing Credentials: If the required API key is not set up, the node will fail to execute.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the 1001fx API endpoint may cause failures.

• Error Messages:

  • "Unexpected token ... in JSON at position ...": Indicates the input string is not properly formatted as JSON. Double-check the string for syntax errors.
  • "Request failed with status code ...": Check your API credentials and network connection.
