mittwald

Overview

This node interacts with the Marketplace resource to generate a secret key for an extension. It is useful when you need to programmatically create or refresh a secret associated with a specific extension contributed by a particular contributor. This can be essential for managing secure access or integration credentials related to extensions in a marketplace environment.

Practical examples include:

• Automating the generation of secrets for newly published extensions.
• Rotating extension secrets regularly for security compliance.
• Integrating secret generation into CI/CD pipelines for extension deployment.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the generated secret for the specified extension. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as the secret value and metadata about the extension or contributor.

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent the secret or related credentials in a binary format; however, based on the provided code, only JSON output is expected.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid Contributor Id or Extension Id: Ensure both IDs are correctly provided and correspond to existing entities in the marketplace.
• Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
• API connectivity issues: Check network connectivity and that the API endpoint is reachable.
• Unexpected API responses: Confirm that the API version matches the node's expectations and that the request payload conforms to the API specification.
