VendusInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Vendus API to retrieve product data from a business invoicing and management system. Specifically, the "Get All Products" operation fetches a list of products, optionally filtered by a search query.

Common scenarios for this node include:

• Synchronizing product catalogs between Vendus and other systems.
• Automating inventory or sales workflows by retrieving up-to-date product information.
• Building reports or dashboards that require product details from Vendus.

For example, a user might use this node to pull all products matching a keyword like "laptop" to update an e-commerce platform's inventory automatically.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing a product retrieved from Vendus. The structure of each product object corresponds directly to the Vendus API response for products, typically including fields such as product ID, title/name, reference code, category, price, and other product attributes.

No binary data is output by this node.

Example output snippet (simplified):

[
  {
    "id": 123,
    "title": "Sample Product",
    "reference": "SP-001",
    "category_id": 1,
    "price": 19.99,
    ...
  },
  ...
]

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate with the Vendus API.
• The node uses the base URL provided by the credential configuration to make HTTP requests.
• Optional: Enabling debug logging requires access to the node's logger.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid API credentials: The node will fail if the Vendus API key or base URL is not correctly set up. Ensure credentials are valid and have necessary permissions.
• Parameter substitution errors: If required parameters (like resource or operation) are missing or incorrectly specified, the node throws errors indicating which parameter is missing.
• API request failures: Network issues, incorrect URLs, or API downtime can cause request failures. Enabling debug logging helps identify the exact request and error details.
• Empty results: If the search query does not match any products, the node returns an empty array. Verify the query string or try without filters.
