Overview

This node interacts with a messaging or communication platform's API to retrieve search categories related to channels. It is useful for scenarios where users need to categorize or filter channels based on predefined search categories, such as in chat applications or customer support systems. For example, it can be used to fetch categories to help users quickly find relevant channels or topics.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetching available search categories to display in a user interface for channel filtering.
  2. Retrieving categories to organize channels in a dashboard or reporting tool.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The session name used to authenticate or identify the user session for the API request.
Request Options Additional options to customize the API request, including batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and request timeout.

Output

JSON

  • categories - List of search categories retrieved from the API related to channels.

Dependencies

  • An API key or session credential to authenticate requests to the messaging platform's API.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the session name provided is valid and active; invalid sessions will cause authentication errors.
  • If SSL certificate validation fails and the request is blocked, enable the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option to bypass this check (not recommended for production).
  • Check proxy settings if requests fail due to network issues.
  • Adjust timeout settings if the server response is slow to avoid premature request abortion.
