AdBlast

Interact with AdBlast API

Actions56

Overview

This node integrates with the AdBlast API to retrieve all visual assets associated with a specific scene within a project. It is useful for workflows that need to programmatically access and manage visual content tied to scenes, such as automating content updates, generating reports on scene visuals, or syncing visuals with other platforms.

A practical example would be a marketing automation workflow that fetches all visuals for a given scene to dynamically update a website or digital signage content based on the latest approved assets.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Method Choose between using saved API credentials or entering an API key dynamically via expressions.
AdBlast Base URL The base URL of the AdBlast API (required only if using dynamic API key authentication).
API Key The API key for authenticating requests to AdBlast (required only if using dynamic API key authentication).
Project Id The unique identifier of the project containing the scene whose visuals are to be retrieved.
Scene Id The unique identifier of the scene for which all visuals will be fetched.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the collection of visuals associated with the specified scene. This typically includes metadata about each visual asset such as IDs, names, URLs, types, and other relevant attributes defined by the AdBlast API.

If the API supports binary data for visuals (e.g., image files), the node may also output binary data fields corresponding to those assets, allowing further processing or storage within n8n workflows.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the AdBlast API.
  • An API key credential is necessary, either stored in n8n credentials or provided dynamically at runtime.
  • The base URL for the AdBlast API must be correctly configured, especially when using dynamic API key authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key is valid and has sufficient permissions. If using dynamic API keys, verify the expression resolves correctly.
  • Invalid Project or Scene Id: Confirm that the provided IDs exist and are correct; otherwise, the API will return errors or empty results.
  • Network issues: Check connectivity to the specified AdBlast Base URL.
  • API rate limits: Be aware of any rate limiting imposed by the AdBlast API that might cause request failures.
