Overview
The node "Steuerboard" integrates with the Steuerboard API to perform various operations on multiple resources. Specifically, for the File resource and the Get by ID operation, this node retrieves detailed information about a specific file using its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch metadata or content details of a file stored or managed within the Steuerboard system.
Practical examples include:
- Retrieving file details to display in a dashboard.
- Fetching file metadata before processing or downloading.
- Validating the existence or status of a file by its ID.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Client ID | The unique identifier of the client associated with the file. |
| File ID | The unique identifier of the file to retrieve from the Steuerboard API. |
Output
The output of this node will be a JSON object containing the details of the requested file. This typically includes metadata such as file name, size, type, creation date, and other relevant attributes provided by the Steuerboard API.
If the file contains binary data (e.g., the actual file content), the node may also output this in a binary format, allowing further processing or download within n8n workflows.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Steuerboard API.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the API must be set correctly in the credentials configuration.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Client ID/File ID: Ensure that both IDs are provided and valid; otherwise, the API call will fail.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions.
- Network issues: Check connectivity to the Steuerboard API endpoint.
- File not found: If the file ID does not exist, the API will return an error indicating the file was not found.
