mittwald

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to manage backups related to projects. Specifically, the "Backup Delete Project Backup" operation allows users to delete a specific project backup by providing its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically clean up old or unnecessary backups to save storage space or maintain an organized backup system.

Practical examples include:

• Automating the deletion of outdated project backups after a certain retention period.
• Integrating backup management into a larger workflow that handles project lifecycle events.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will confirm whether the deletion was successful or provide error details if it failed. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes status information.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
• The node sends requests to the base URL: 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 exist or is malformed, the API may return an error indicating the backup could not be found. Verify the ID before attempting deletion.
• Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the API endpoint. Check network settings and firewall rules.
• API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might trigger rate limiting. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
