Result from a Data from Metabase

I’m having an issue with the Metabase node in n8n. Whenever I pass a question ID, the node always returns an empty JSON response.

Here are some details about my setup:

  • I’m using a Metabase instance configured with sensitive data settings.
  • My company’s network uses Cloudflare.

Could Cloudflare be affecting the data extraction process? Has anyone faced a similar issue or has suggestions for troubleshooting this?

output:

[

  }
]
(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)

Tip for sharing information

Pasting your n8n workflow


Ensure to copy your n8n workflow and paste it in the code block, that is in between the pairs of triple backticks, which also could be achieved by clicking </> (preformatted text) in the editor and pasting in your workflow.

```
<your workflow>
```

That implies to any JSON output you would like to share with us.

Make sure that you have removed any sensitive information from your workflow and include dummy or pinned data with it!


When you use the operation “Result Data” you are getting back the binary file. Hence JSON is empty but binary output will contain the CSV file.

If you want your data as JSON plain text (instead of a binary file) switch to “Get” operation.

Here’s an example what you might be getting now

I was advised by the tech team to create an HTTP request node so I can pass two headers to authenticate access to the questions. How can I include this node in my flow and use it with the Metabase node?
