Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Overview

This node operation, Conversation Get File Access Token, is designed to retrieve an access token for a specific file within a conversation. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically obtain temporary or secured access credentials to download or interact with files shared in conversations, such as chat messages or collaborative threads.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating the retrieval of file access tokens to enable secure downloads in workflows.
  • Integrating with external systems that require a valid access token to fetch files from conversations.
  • Managing permissions and access control by dynamically generating tokens per file request.

Properties

Name Meaning
Conversation Id The unique identifier of the conversation containing the file.
File Id The unique identifier of the file for which the access token is requested.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the access token information for the specified file. This typically includes fields such as the token string itself and possibly metadata like expiration time or scope (though exact fields depend on the API response).

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent the actual file content or a related binary payload; however, based on the provided code and operation, the output focuses on JSON with the access token details.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Conversation Id/File Id: Ensure both IDs are correctly provided and correspond to existing resources in the mittwald system.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • API connectivity issues: Check network access to https://api.mittwald.de and confirm no firewall or proxy blocks.
  • Unexpected API responses: Review the API documentation for any changes or required parameters not covered by the node.
