New(releases)

A node to access project release informations

Actions9

Overview

The Get Project operation of the "New(releases)" n8n node retrieves detailed information about a specific project from the NewReleases API. This is useful for workflows that need to fetch metadata or status about a project, either by its internal ID or by a provider/name combination (e.g., GitHub repository). Common scenarios include automating project monitoring, integrating project data into dashboards, or triggering actions based on project details.

Example use cases:

  • Fetching project details to display in a report.
  • Validating if a project exists before performing further automation.
  • Retrieving project metadata for synchronization with other systems.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
Project String Can be either the project internal ID (e.g. pf4w494lbjsd3ydp5hnf4gsptw), or provider/name (e.g. github/n8n-io/n8n). Used to identify which project to retrieve.

Output

The output is a JSON object containing the project's details as returned by the NewReleases API. The structure typically includes fields such as:

{
  "id": "pf4w494lbjsd3ydp5hnf4gsptw",
  "provider": "github",
  "name": "n8n-io/n8n",
  "created_at": "2022-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2022-06-01T12:34:56Z",
  "email_notification": true,
  "exclude_prereleases": false,
  "exclude_updated": false,
  "note": "",
  "exclude_version_regexp": []
  // ...other project-specific fields
}

Note: The exact fields depend on the API response and may include additional metadata.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the NewReleases API.
  • Credentials: Needs a configured credential named newReleasesCredentialsApi in n8n.
  • Environment: No special environment variables are required beyond standard n8n setup.

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

  • Invalid Project Identifier: If the provided Project value does not match any existing project, the node will likely return an error or an empty result. Double-check the ID or provider/name format.
  • Authentication Errors: If credentials are missing or invalid, you may see errors related to authentication failure. Ensure the newReleasesCredentialsApi credential is set up correctly.
  • API Rate Limits or Downtime: If the NewReleases API is unavailable or rate-limited, requests may fail temporarily.

Error messages and resolutions:

  • "Project not found": Verify the Project input is correct and exists in NewReleases.
  • "401 Unauthorized": Check your API credentials in n8n.
  • "Network Error": Ensure n8n can reach the NewReleases API endpoint.
