This recipe reads the waiting list every hour. You can send the result to Slack, email, a sheet or any other n8n node.

​
1. Store the key as a credential

1

Create a credential

In n8n, open Credentials → Add credential and choose Header Auth.
2

Fill it in

Name: Authorization. Value: Bearer followed by the key, for example:
Call the credential Scoutworks. Choose Save.

​
2. Build the workflow

1

Add a Schedule Trigger

Set it to run every hour.
2

Add an HTTP Request node

  • Method: GET
  • URL: https://api-demo.scoutworks.app/api/v1/waiting-list?limit=200
  • Authentication: Generic Credential Type → Header Auth → Scoutworks
3

Turn on pagination

Under Options → Add option → Pagination:
  • Pagination mode: Update a Parameter in Each Request
  • Type: Query. Name: cursor. Value: {{ $response.body.nextCursor }}
  • Pagination Complete When: Other. Complete Expression: {{ $response.body.nextCursor === null }}
4

Split the list

Add a Split Out node. Field to split out: data. Each waiting-list entry is now one item.
Connect the output to any node you like.

​
3. Switch to your group

In the HTTP Request node, change api-demo.scoutworks.app to api.scoutworks.app. In the credential, replace the sandbox key with your own. Your key needs the waiting-list:read scope.

​
Tips

  • Only new entries. Keep the IDs you have already seen in a data table, and filter them out with a Remove Duplicates node set to “Remove items processed in previous executions”.
  • Writing to Google Sheets. In the Google Sheets node, set Cell Format to Use Format From n8n (RAW), so that a name starting with = is stored as text, not run as a formula.
  • Errors. Turn on Options → Response → Include Response Headers and Status, and branch on error.code if the status is not 200. See Errors.
