Interact with Nexrender Cloud API

Actions14

Overview

This node interacts with the Nexrender Cloud API to manage fonts among other resources. Specifically, for the "Font" resource and the "Delete" operation, it deletes a font identified by its unique ID from the Nexrender service. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically remove unused or outdated fonts from your Nexrender account to keep your environment clean and organized.

Practical example: If you have uploaded multiple custom fonts to Nexrender for video rendering projects but no longer need some of them, you can use this node to delete those fonts automatically based on their IDs, helping maintain an efficient font library.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID The unique identifier of the font to delete. This is required to specify which font should be removed from Nexrender.

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Nexrender API after attempting to delete the font. Typically, it will include a success confirmation or details about the deleted font. If the deletion is successful, the output JSON will at least contain { success: true }. If there is an error, the output will contain error information.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Nexrender Cloud API.
  • The node expects the base URL of the Nexrender API to be configured via credentials.
  • Network access to the Nexrender API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent font ID will result in an error from the API.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent the node from reaching the Nexrender API.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors returned by the API are captured and presented as node errors. For example, if the font ID does not exist, the API might return a 404 error with a message indicating the font was not found.
    • Authentication errors typically indicate missing or invalid API keys.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the font ID is correct and corresponds to an existing font in your Nexrender account.
    • Ensure that the API key credential is properly set up and has the necessary permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and firewall settings to allow outbound requests to the Nexrender API.
