Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to retrieve information about a specific SSH key associated with a user. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically access details of an SSH key, for example, to verify its existence, fetch metadata, or use the key's information in further automation workflows related to user management or deployment processes.

A practical example would be automating the retrieval of a user's SSH key details before granting access to a server or integrating with other systems that require SSH key validation.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ssh Key Id The unique identifier of the SSH key to retrieve. This is a required string input specifying which SSH key's details to fetch.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the details of the requested SSH key. This typically includes metadata such as the key's ID, public key content, creation date, and any associated user information. The exact structure depends on the mittwald mStudio API response but generally provides all relevant SSH key attributes.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token credential to connect to the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de for API requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API credential within n8n is necessary to authenticate and authorize requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing SSH Key Id: Ensure the "Ssh Key Id" property is correctly set and corresponds to an existing SSH key.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or connectivity problems: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach the https://api.mittwald.de endpoint.
  • Error Messages:

    • Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate issues with the API credentials.
    • 404 Not Found may mean the specified SSH key ID does not exist.
    • Timeout or network errors suggest connectivity issues.

Resolving these usually involves checking input values, refreshing credentials, and ensuring network access.
