N8N Tools XingInstall

Overview

The "Get Company" operation of the N8N Tools Xing node allows users to retrieve detailed information about a specific company from the Xing platform by providing its unique Company ID. This node is useful for workflows that require enrichment or verification of company data, such as CRM updates, market research, or business intelligence automation.

For example, you might use this node to fetch company details before adding them to a contact record or to monitor changes in company profiles for sales prospecting.

Properties

Output

The output of this operation is a JSON object containing the company's detailed information as returned by the Xing API. This typically includes fields such as company name, description, industry, size, location, and other relevant metadata about the company profile.

No binary data is produced by this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "id": "123456",
  "name": "Example Company",
  "industry": "Information Technology",
  "size": "201-500 employees",
  "location": "Berlin, Germany",
  "description": "A leading provider of software solutions."
}

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential and OAuth2 authentication configured in n8n to access the Xing API.
• The node depends on the external Xing API service at https://api.xing.com.
• Proper permissions/scopes must be granted to the API credentials to read company data.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid Company ID: Ensure the Company ID input is correctly provided and corresponds to a valid company on Xing.
• Authentication errors: Verify that the API credentials are correctly set up and have not expired.
• API rate limits: The Xing API may limit the number of requests; if you encounter rate limit errors, consider adding delays or reducing request frequency.
• Unknown operation error: If the node throws an error about an unknown operation, confirm that the operation parameter is set exactly to "getCompany".
