Interact with Nexrender Cloud API

Actions14

Overview

This node integrates with the Nexrender Cloud API, allowing users to manage various Nexrender resources such as jobs, templates, fonts, and secrets. Specifically for the Secret - Delete operation, it deletes a secret identified by its ID from the Nexrender service.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating the cleanup of sensitive data (secrets) stored in Nexrender.
  • Managing secrets programmatically as part of a larger workflow that involves rendering jobs or template management.
  • Ensuring secrets are removed when no longer needed to maintain security compliance.

Example use case:

  • After completing a rendering job that required temporary credentials or tokens stored as secrets, you can use this node to delete those secrets automatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID The unique identifier of the secret to be deleted. This is a required field and must be provided as a string. It is treated as sensitive input (password type).

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the Nexrender API after attempting to delete the secret. Typically, it will be an object indicating success, for example:

{
  "success": true
}

If the API returns additional information, it will be included in the JSON output. No binary data is produced by 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 secret ID will likely 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. They typically include HTTP status codes and descriptive messages.
    • Timeout or network errors will also be surfaced as node errors.
  • Resolution tips:

    • Verify the secret ID is correct and exists in your Nexrender account.
    • Ensure the API key credential is valid and has appropriate permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
    • Enable "Continue on Fail" if you want the workflow to proceed despite individual item errors.
