Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to retrieve detailed information about a specific Project by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch project data dynamically within an n8n workflow, such as automating project management tasks, syncing project details with other systems, or generating reports based on project attributes.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Automatically pull project details when a new task is created.
  • Update external databases or CRMs with the latest project information.
  • Trigger notifications or further processing based on project status or metadata.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project Id The unique identifier of the Project to be retrieved. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested Project as returned by the mittwald mStudio API. The structure typically includes all relevant project fields such as name, description, status, creation date, and any other metadata provided by the API.

If the API supports binary data related to the project (e.g., attachments), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the provided code and operation, the output focuses on JSON project details.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de to send requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issue: Invalid or missing Project Id will cause the API request to fail. Ensure the Project Id is correctly provided and exists in the mittwald system.
  • Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is incorrect or expired, the node will not authenticate successfully. Verify and update the API credentials in n8n.
  • API Rate Limits or Downtime: Temporary failures may occur if the mittwald API is down or rate limits are exceeded. Retry after some time or check the API status.
  • Error Messages: Typical errors include 404 Not Found (invalid Project Id) or 401 Unauthorized (authentication issues). Review the error message details and adjust inputs or credentials accordingly.
