VendusInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Vendus API, a platform for invoicing and business management. Specifically, the "Account" resource with the "Get Account Info" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about their Vendus account.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Automatically fetching account details to display or use in workflows.
• Synchronizing Vendus account data with other systems.
• Monitoring account status or settings as part of automated reports.

For example, a user might set up an automation that retrieves their Vendus account info daily to check subscription status or usage limits and then sends a notification if certain thresholds are met.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing the response from the Vendus API for the requested operation. For the "Get Account Info" operation, the json output contains the full account information as returned by the API, including fields such as account name, contact details, subscription info, and other metadata.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "id": "account_id",
  "name": "Account Name",
  "email": "contact@example.com",
  "subscription": {
    "plan": "Pro",
    "status": "active"
  },
  ...
}

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Vendus API.
• The node expects the base URL of the Vendus API to be configured in the credentials.
• Uses HTTP requests with authentication to communicate with the Vendus API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or incorrect API credentials: The node requires valid API authentication. Ensure the API key and base URL are correctly configured.
• Parameter substitution errors: If required parameters are missing or invalid, the node throws errors indicating which parameter is missing.
• API request failures: Network issues, invalid URLs, or server errors will cause the node to throw errors. Enabling debug logging can provide detailed request and response information to help identify the problem.
• Debug logging: Enable the "Enable Debug Logging" option to get detailed logs of the execution process, including URL construction, request bodies, and responses. This helps troubleshoot issues related to API communication.
