Overview

This node performs user login by sending the provided username and password as query parameters to the authentication endpoint. It is useful for scenarios where you need to authenticate a user against an API or service that requires login credentials, such as accessing user-specific data or initiating a session.

Properties

Output

JSON

• token - Authentication token or session identifier returned upon successful login.
• userId - Identifier of the logged-in user.
• expiresIn - Duration in seconds before the authentication token expires.

Dependencies

• Requires an API endpoint that accepts username and password as query parameters for login.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure that the username and password are correct and properly URL-encoded if necessary.
• Check that the API endpoint URL is correctly configured and accessible.
• If login fails, verify that the API expects credentials as query parameters; some APIs require them in the request body or headers instead.
• Common error messages may include authentication failure or invalid credentials; verify credentials and API documentation to resolve.
