Overview

The "Leadfyndr Get Cities" operation in the "Lead Fyndr" resource is designed to retrieve city information based on a given input string. This node is useful when you want to fetch city data dynamically, for example, to populate dropdowns or autocomplete fields in workflows that require location-based filtering or processing.

A practical use case would be an automation where a user inputs a partial city name, and the node returns matching cities to help refine leads or target marketing campaigns geographically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Input A required string used as a query parameter to search or filter cities by name or keyword.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the list of cities matching the input query. The exact structure depends on the external API response but typically includes city names and possibly additional metadata such as state, country, or identifiers.

No binary data output is indicated or expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the Lead Fyndr service.
  • The node sends HTTP requests to the Lead Fyndr API endpoint, passing the input string as a query parameter.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an empty or malformed input string may result in no results or errors.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent the node from reaching the API.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate problems with the API key setup; verify and re-enter credentials.
    • Validation errors may occur if the input string does not meet the API's requirements; ensure the input is a valid string.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network problems; check internet access and API availability.

Links and References

  • Refer to the official Lead Fyndr API documentation for detailed information about the city lookup endpoint and its parameters.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and handle HTTP request nodes for further customization.
