1001fx - NoCode functionsInstall

Overview

The Geocode to Location operation under the geo resource in this n8n custom node allows users to convert geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) into a human-readable location. This is commonly known as reverse geocoding. It is useful in scenarios where you have GPS data or coordinate pairs and need to determine the corresponding address or place name.

Practical examples:

• Enriching datasets with location names based on latitude/longitude from IoT devices.
• Displaying user-friendly addresses in reports or notifications when only coordinates are available.
• Automating workflows that require mapping or location-based filtering.

Properties

Output

• The output will be a JSON object containing the result of the reverse geocoding operation.
• The structure typically includes fields such as the resolved address, city, country, or other location details, depending on the API response.
• If an error occurs, the output will contain an error field with the error message.

Example output:

{
  "address": "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA",
  "city": "Mountain View",
  "country": "United States"
}

Or, in case of error:

{
  "error": "Invalid latitude/longitude values."
}

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to the 1001fx API.
• API Key: You must configure the 1001fxApi credential in n8n for authentication.
• Environment: No additional environment variables are required beyond standard n8n setup.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Invalid Coordinates: If latitude or longitude values are out of range, the node may return an error.
• Missing Credentials: If the 1001fxApi credential is not set up, the node will fail to authenticate.
• API Errors: Network issues or service downtime can cause errors in the response.

Error messages and resolutions:

• "Invalid latitude/longitude values."
  Ensure the input values are within valid ranges: latitude (-90 to 90), longitude (-180 to 180).
• "Authentication failed"
  Check that your 1001fxApi credentials are correctly configured in n8n.
• "Network error" or similar
  Verify network connectivity and that the 1001fx API is reachable.
