Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to manage project backups. Specifically, the "Backup Delete Project Backup Export" operation deletes an export of a specified project backup. This is useful in scenarios where you want to remove an existing backup export from your project storage, for example, to free up space or to comply with data retention policies.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating cleanup of old or unnecessary project backup exports.
  • Integrating backup management into broader DevOps workflows.
  • Ensuring that only relevant backups are retained by deleting outdated exports programmatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project Backup Id The unique identifier of the project backup whose export you want to delete (string).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will confirm whether the deletion was successful or provide 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 authentication with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node sends requests to https://api.mittwald.de.
  • Proper configuration of the API credential within n8n is necessary for successful communication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Project Backup Id: Ensure the ID provided corresponds to an existing project backup export.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API endpoint issues: Confirm network connectivity and that the API base URL is reachable.
  • Common error messages:

    • Unauthorized or 401 errors: Check API credentials.
    • Not Found or 404 errors: The specified Project Backup Id does not exist or the export is already deleted.
    • Validation errors: Missing required parameters like Project Backup Id.

Resolving these typically involves verifying input parameters, checking API credentials, and ensuring the target resource exists.
