Overview

This node operation retrieves a list of friends from a Zalo account. It is useful for scenarios where users want to access their friend list data for further processing, analysis, or integration with other workflows. For example, a business could use this to gather contact information for marketing campaigns or customer relationship management.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve up to 50 friends from a Zalo account to display in a CRM system.
2. Fetch the friend list to analyze social connections or for data synchronization with other platforms.

Properties

Output

JSON

• friends - Array of friend objects returned from the Zalo account.
• totalReturned - Number of friend entries returned in the current response.
• status - Status of the API call, indicating success or failure.

Dependencies

• Requires valid Zalo API credentials (cookie, imei, userAgent) to authenticate and fetch friend data.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure valid Zalo credentials are provided; otherwise, the node throws an error indicating no API instance found.
• If the limit exceeds allowed maximum, the node may throw an error; keep the limit within allowed range (default 50).
• Handle API errors gracefully; the node captures errors per item and continues processing other items if 'continueOnFail' is enabled.
