Overview
This node interacts with the Nexrender Cloud API to manage templates and other resources related to video rendering automation. Specifically, the "Get Download URL" operation for the "Template" resource retrieves a URL that can be used to download the template's upload data.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating workflows that require fetching template assets from Nexrender Cloud.
- Integrating Nexrender templates into larger video production pipelines.
- Programmatically managing and accessing template files without manual intervention.
For example, you might use this node to get a direct download link for a specific template so that your workflow can fetch and process the template file automatically.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | Template ID (string) - The unique identifier of the template for which to get the download URL. This property is required. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the Nexrender API for the download URL request. Typically, it includes fields such as the URL to download the template's upload data.
Example output structure (simplified):
{
"url": "https://example.com/path/to/template/download"
}
No binary data output is produced by this operation; the output is purely JSON containing metadata including the download URL.
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 in the credentials.
- Network access to the Nexrender Cloud API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Template ID will cause the API call to fail.
- Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity problems may prevent reaching the Nexrender API.
Error messages:
- Errors returned from the API are parsed and presented with HTTP status codes and error messages.
- Timeout or network errors will be surfaced as request failures.
Resolutions:
- Ensure the Template ID is correct and exists in your Nexrender account.
- Verify that the API key credential is valid and has appropriate permissions.
- Check network connectivity and firewall settings to allow outbound requests to the Nexrender API.
