Output

The output JSON contains a field named friends which is an array representing the list of friends retrieved from the Zalo account. Each item in this array corresponds to a friend object with details as provided by the Zalo API.

Example structure of output JSON:

{
  "friends": [
    {
      // friend details here
    },
    {
      // friend details here
    }
  ]
}

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires a valid Zalo API authentication credential (an API key or token) configured in n8n to connect to the Zalo service.
  • The node uses an internal Zalo client library to send requests authenticated by the user's cookie, IMEI, and user agent information extracted from credentials.
  • Proper configuration of these credentials is necessary for successful API calls.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or expired authentication credentials may cause failures in retrieving the friends list.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the Zalo API.
    • Exceeding API rate limits might result in errors or incomplete data.

  • Error messages:

    • If the node throws an error indicating missing or invalid credentials, verify that the API key/token and required session data (cookie, IMEI, user agent) are correctly set up.
    • Errors related to response parsing or empty results may indicate changes in the Zalo API or insufficient permissions.
    • When partial errors occur per item, the node attempts to continue processing remaining items unless configured otherwise.
