AdBlast

Interact with AdBlast API

Actions56

Overview

This node integrates with the AdBlast API to retrieve detailed information about a specific scene within a project by its unique identifier. It is particularly useful in marketing automation, video production workflows, or any scenario where managing and accessing scene data programmatically is required. For example, a user might want to fetch metadata or configuration details of a particular scene to display it in a dashboard or to trigger further automated processing based on the scene's attributes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Method Choose how to authenticate requests: either using saved API credentials or by entering an API key dynamically via expressions. Options: "Predefined Credentials", "Dynamic API Key".
AdBlast Base URL The base URL for the AdBlast API endpoint. Required only if using dynamic API key authentication. Default is https://dev.adblast.ai.
API Key The API key used for authenticating requests when using dynamic API key authentication. Can be set dynamically using expressions.
Project Id The unique identifier of the project that contains the scene. This is required to scope the request properly.
Scene Id The unique identifier of the scene to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested scene. This typically includes all relevant properties and metadata associated with the scene as returned by the AdBlast API. The output does not include binary data.

Example structure (simplified):

{
  "id": "architecto",
  "name": "Scene Name",
  "description": "Description of the scene",
  "projectId": "01k5x1n0ckndc4h6qrahgpm59g",
  "createdAt": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "updatedAt": "2023-01-10T00:00:00Z",
  // ... other scene-specific fields ...
}

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the AdBlast API.
  • Needs either:
    • Saved API credentials configured in n8n (an API key and base URL), or
    • Dynamic entry of the API key and base URL at runtime.
  • Network connectivity to the specified AdBlast API base URL.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: If the API key is invalid or missing, the node will fail to authenticate. Ensure the correct API key is provided either via saved credentials or dynamically.
  • Invalid Project or Scene ID: Providing incorrect or non-existent IDs will result in errors or empty responses. Verify the IDs are correct.
  • Network issues: Failure to reach the API base URL due to network restrictions or incorrect URLs will cause request failures.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests may lead to throttling; monitor usage accordingly.
