Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions409

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to request an avatar upload for a user. Specifically, it allows you to trigger the process where a user (identified by their ID or the keyword self) can upload or update their avatar image. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically manage user profile pictures within the mittwald platform, such as automating user onboarding or profile updates.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically prompting users to upload avatars after account creation.
  • Integrating avatar management into broader user profile workflows.
  • Syncing user avatars from external systems by triggering the upload process.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The identifier of the user whose avatar upload is requested. Use self to refer to the current authenticated user or provide a specific user ID.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the mittwald API regarding the avatar upload request. This typically includes status information about the upload request and any relevant metadata returned by the API.

If the node supports binary data output (e.g., the actual avatar image), it would be indicated here; however, based on the provided code, the output focuses on JSON responses related to the upload request status.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing user ID: Ensure the User Id property is correctly set to either self or a valid user identifier.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API endpoint errors: Check connectivity to https://api.mittwald.de and confirm the API service is operational.
  • Error messages:

    • Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate problems with API credentials.
    • 404 errors may mean the specified user does not exist.
    • Validation errors could arise if the User Id format is incorrect.

Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, checking credential validity, and ensuring the API service is reachable.
