Clash of ClansInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Clash of Clans API to retrieve various types of game-related data. Specifically, the "Get Player Upcoming Chests" operation fetches information about the upcoming chests a player will receive in the game. This is useful for players or clan managers who want to track and plan around the rewards a player will get next.

Practical scenarios include:

• Monitoring a player's upcoming rewards to optimize gameplay strategy.
• Automating notifications or reports about chest availability.
• Integrating player chest data into clan management dashboards.

Output

The output JSON contains detailed information about the player's upcoming chests as returned by the Clash of Clans API endpoint /players/{playerTag}/upcomingchests. The structure typically includes an array of chest objects describing the type, unlock time, and other relevant details of each upcoming chest.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "items": [
    {
      "name": "Silver Chest",
      "unlockTime": "2024-06-01T12:00:00Z",
      "index": 1,
      ...
    },
    {
      "name": "Gold Chest",
      "unlockTime": "2024-06-02T12:00:00Z",
      "index": 2,
      ...
    }
  ]
}

No binary data is output by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for the Clash of Clans API.
• The node makes HTTP requests to the official Clash of Clans API at https://api.clashofclans.com/v1.
• Proper API authentication token must be configured in n8n credentials for this node to function.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Player Tag: If the player tag does not start with # or is malformed, the API will return an error. Ensure the player tag is correctly formatted.
• Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API tokens will cause authorization failures. Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up.
• Rate Limits: The Clash of Clans API enforces rate limits. Excessive requests may result in temporary blocking. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
• Operation Not Supported: If the operation parameter is incorrect or unsupported, the node throws an error indicating the operation is not supported.
