Interact with the WAX blockchain

Actions9

Overview

The node interacts with the WAX blockchain, specifically allowing users to retrieve information about a WAX account. The "Get Account Info" operation fetches details related to a specified WAX account name from a given WAX blockchain API endpoint.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where you need to programmatically access blockchain account data for verification, monitoring balances, or integrating blockchain account info into workflows. For example, it can be used to check an account's status before performing transactions or to display account details in a dashboard.

Properties

Name Meaning
API Endpoint The URL of the WAX blockchain API endpoint to connect to (default: https://wax.greymass.com).
Account Name The WAX blockchain account name for which to retrieve information.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the account information retrieved from the WAX blockchain API. This typically includes details such as account balances, permissions, and other metadata associated with the specified account.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to a WAX blockchain API endpoint (configurable via the "API Endpoint" property).
  • Optionally uses an API key credential for authentication if configured, but this is not mandatory.
  • No additional external dependencies are indicated.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Incorrect or unreachable API endpoint URL may cause connection failures.
    • Invalid or misspelled account names will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network issues or rate limiting by the WAX API provider could interrupt data retrieval.

  • Error Messages:

    • Errors thrown during execution will include the error message from the API or network layer.
    • If "Continue On Fail" is enabled, errors will be returned as JSON objects with an error field describing the issue.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the API endpoint URL is correct and accessible.
    • Double-check the account name spelling.
    • Ensure network connectivity and API service availability.
    • Enable "Continue On Fail" to handle errors gracefully within workflows.
