Overview

This node interacts with the Withings API to retrieve user information. Specifically, for the 'User' resource and 'Get' operation, it fetches detailed user data from the Withings platform. This is useful for scenarios where you want to integrate Withings user data into workflows, such as health monitoring dashboards or personalized health applications.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve user profile information from Withings to display in a health app.
  2. Fetch user data to synchronize with another health tracking system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Method Specifies how to authenticate with the Withings API, either using stored OAuth2 credentials or a manual access token from a previous node.
Access Token (From Previous Node) The access token used for manual authentication, typically obtained from a Token Exchange node. Required if manual authentication is selected.
Additional Fields Optional parameters to refine the data retrieval, including start date, end date, last update timestamp, and offset to skip records.

Output

JSON

  • success - Indicates if the API call was successful.
  • resource - The resource type, here it will be 'user'.
  • operation - The operation performed, here 'get'.
  • body - The detailed user information returned by the Withings API.
  • data - Alternative field containing the user data if 'body' is not present.

Dependencies

  • Requires Withings API OAuth2 credentials or a manual access token for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include token expiration or invalid tokens, which can cause authentication failures. The node attempts token refresh automatically if OAuth2 credentials are used.
  • Error messages related to token failures suggest re-authenticating or using the Token Exchange node to obtain a fresh token when using manual authentication.
  • API errors from Withings are surfaced with status codes and error messages; ensure the parameters and tokens are valid.
