WherebyInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Whereby video conferencing API to manage recordings. Specifically, the "Recording" resource with the "Get" operation retrieves detailed information about a specific recording by its ID. This is useful when you want to fetch metadata or status of a particular recording from your Whereby meetings.

Common scenarios include:

• Fetching recording details for archival or processing.
• Verifying recording availability before sharing or downloading.
• Integrating recording data into workflows such as notifications or storage management.

Example: You have a recording ID from a meeting and want to retrieve its details like duration, URL, or status to display in a dashboard or trigger further actions.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains the full details of the requested recording as returned by the Whereby API. This typically includes metadata such as:

• Recording ID
• Meeting ID associated with the recording
• Recording status (e.g., completed, processing)
• URLs or access links to the recording file
• Duration and timestamps
• Any other relevant metadata provided by the API

No binary data output is produced by this operation; it only returns JSON metadata about the recording.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Whereby API using an API key credential configured in n8n.
• The node uses HTTP requests to the Whereby API endpoints.
• Proper permissions on the API key are necessary to read recording information.

Troubleshooting

• Error: Recording not found — Ensure the provided Recording ID is correct and exists in your Whereby account.
• Authentication errors — Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
• Network issues — Check connectivity to the Whereby API endpoint.
• If the node throws an error and continueOnFail is enabled, the error message will be included in the output JSON under an error field.
