mittwald

Overview

This node operation retrieves the rules associated with a specific file upload type in the context of the "File" resource. It is useful when you need to understand or enforce constraints and validations for different categories of file uploads, such as avatars, extension asset images or videos, anchor icons, and conversation files. For example, before allowing users to upload an avatar image, you might want to fetch the allowed file types, size limits, or other restrictions defined by the system.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains the rules related to the selected file upload type. These rules typically define constraints such as allowed file extensions, maximum file sizes, or other validation criteria that must be met when uploading files of that type.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Selecting an unsupported or misspelled file upload type may result in errors or empty responses.
  • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.

• Error Messages:

  • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
  • Validation errors may occur if the file upload type parameter is missing or incorrect; ensure it matches one of the allowed options.
  • Timeout or connection errors suggest network problems; check your internet connection and API availability.
