mittwald

Overview

This node interacts with the Marketplace resource of an external API to retrieve detailed information about a specific contributor associated with an extension. It is useful when you need to fetch contributor data such as profile details or contributions for extensions listed in a marketplace environment.

A practical example would be automating the retrieval of contributor information by their unique identifier to display or process contributor metadata within a workflow, such as showing contributor profiles on a dashboard or integrating contributor data into reports.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the contributor's information fetched from the Marketplace API. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields such as contributor name, contact details, contribution history, and other relevant metadata.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication with the mittwald mStudio API.
• The base URL for API requests is https://api.mittwald.de.
• The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content negotiation (Accept: application/json and Content-Type: application/json).

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid Contributor Id: Ensure that the Contributor Id property is provided and correctly formatted; otherwise, the API call will fail.
• Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
• Network issues or API downtime: Check network connectivity and the status of the mittwald API service if requests time out or fail.
• Unexpected API responses: If the output JSON does not contain expected fields, verify the Contributor Id exists and the API version matches the node’s expectations.
