Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node operation allows users to export a project backup from the mittwald mStudio API. It is designed to create an archive of a specified project backup in either Tar or Zip format, optionally protected with a password. This functionality is useful for backing up project data, migrating projects between environments, or archiving project states for compliance and recovery purposes.

Practical examples include:

  • Exporting a project backup before performing major updates or migrations.
  • Creating downloadable archives of project backups for offline storage.
  • Securing exported backups with a password to protect sensitive data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project Backup Id The unique identifier of the project backup to export.
Format The desired archive format for the export. Options: Tar, Zip.
Password Password to protect the exported archive file.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the export operation. Typically, this will include metadata about the exported backup such as confirmation of success, download URLs, or status messages. If binary data (the actual archive) is returned, it would represent the exported project backup archive in the chosen format, potentially encrypted with the provided password.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node communicates with the mittwald API endpoint at https://api.mittwald.de.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Project Backup Id: If the provided ID does not correspond to an existing backup, the API may return an error. Verify the ID is correct.
  • Unsupported Format: Only "tar" and "zip" formats are supported. Using other values will cause errors.
  • Password Issues: If the password is missing or invalid, the export might fail or produce an unprotected archive.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the mittwald API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures.
