AI Visibility → Wire: Run Read Action

AI-generated

Summary

Run a Wire read-only action that extracts data (e.g., search listings, get product prices) from a specified Wire automation action.

Inputs

  • Action ID (required) — The Wire action to run, selected from previously discovered actions or catalog (e.g., 'walmart.search_products').
  • Params (JSON) — Input parameters for the Wire action in JSON format; shape depends on the action. Leave empty if no parameters are needed.
  • Credential ID — Credential identifier used for authentication when required or optional for the Wire action; obtained from Wire identities or sign-in.
  • Identity ID — Optional identity selector as alternative to Credential ID; the server resolves the credential from this.
  • Additional Options — Optional settings for the request including 'Max Wait Time (Seconds)' to specify how long to wait for asynchronous completion (default 300 seconds) and 'Poll Interval (Seconds)' to set how frequently to check status (default 3 seconds).

Output shape

a single JSON object containing the run result of the Wire read action, including success status, action ID, job ID (if asynchronous), and extracted data from the target site.

If the action runs asynchronously, the node polls the job status until completion or timeout. Errors during execution throw exceptions unless continueOnFail is enabled, in which case error messages are returned in the JSON output. Authentication is required if the Wire action's auth_mode is 'required', and relevant Credential ID or Identity ID should be provided.

Examples

Example 1: Run Wire read action to retrieve product listings from Walmart

Set Action ID to 'walmart.search_products', provide any necessary parameters as a JSON object, optionally supply a Credential ID for authentication, and configure max wait time and poll interval as needed.
