Overview
This node interacts with the iTwin Component Center API to retrieve information about manufacturers. Specifically, the "Get Manufacturer" operation fetches details of a manufacturer by its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to integrate or automate workflows involving component metadata from the iTwin ecosystem, such as fetching manufacturer details for parts management, inventory systems, or digital twin applications.
Example use cases:
- Automatically retrieving manufacturer details when processing new components.
- Enriching datasets with manufacturer information for reporting or analytics.
- Integrating manufacturer data into CAD or BIM workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the manufacturer to retrieve. This is a required string input that specifies which manufacturer's details to fetch. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the manufacturer details retrieved from the iTwin Component Center API. The structure typically includes all relevant fields describing the manufacturer, such as name, contact information, and other metadata provided by the API.
If multiple items are returned (though for this operation it is expected to be a single object), each will be output as a separate JSON item.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the iTwin OAuth2 service.
- The node depends on the iTwin Component Center API being accessible.
- Proper configuration of the OAuth2 credentials within n8n is necessary for successful API calls.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing manufacturer ID will cause the API call to fail.
- Authentication errors if the OAuth2 credentials are not set up correctly.
- Network or API availability issues may cause timeouts or failures.
Error messages:
"Unknown operation: get-manufacturer": Indicates the operation parameter was not recognized; ensure the operation name is correct.- API errors returned from the iTwin service will be passed through; check the error message for details.
- If the node fails but "Continue On Fail" is enabled, error details will be included in the output JSON under an
errorfield.
