mittwald

Overview

This node allows authenticating a user against the mittwald mStudio API. It is designed to verify user credentials (email and password) and obtain authentication status or tokens from the API. This is useful in workflows where you need to confirm user identity before proceeding with further actions, such as accessing protected resources or triggering user-specific operations.

Practical examples include:

• Validating user login details submitted through a form.
• Automating user session creation or token retrieval for subsequent API calls.
• Integrating user authentication into larger automation workflows that require secure access.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the mittwald mStudio API after attempting user authentication. This typically includes authentication tokens, user details, or error messages depending on the success or failure of the login attempt.

If the API returns binary data (not indicated here), it would represent related authentication artifacts, but this node primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for the mittwald mStudio API configured in n8n.
• Depends on the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package for OpenAPI integration.
• Connects to the base URL https://api.mittwald.de with JSON content headers.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Credentials: If the email or password is incorrect, the API will likely return an authentication error. Verify the input values.
• Missing API Key: Ensure the API key credential is properly set up in n8n; otherwise, requests will fail authorization.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems to https://api.mittwald.de can cause timeouts or errors.
• Incorrect Property Mapping: Make sure the input properties are correctly mapped to the request body (email and password) as expected by the API.
