Overview
This node integrates with the VideoDB API to perform various operations related to video, audio, image, and collection management. Specifically, for the "Generate Music" operation under the default resource, it allows users to generate music tracks based on a textual prompt within a specified collection. This is useful in scenarios where automated or AI-assisted music creation is needed, such as generating background scores for videos, creating custom soundtracks for apps, or experimenting with music ideas quickly.
For example, a user can select a music collection, provide a descriptive prompt like "upbeat electronic dance track," specify the desired duration, and optionally set a callback URL to receive asynchronous notifications when the music generation completes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Collection Name or ID | Choose an existing music collection by name or ID from the VideoDB service to which the generated music will belong. |
| Prompt | A text description guiding the music generation process, e.g., style, mood, instruments, or genre. |
| Duration | Length of the generated music track in seconds (or another time unit as defined by the API). |
| Callback URL | Optional URL to be called back once the music generation process finishes, enabling asynchronous handling. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the VideoDB API after requesting music generation. The structure typically includes details about the generated music asset, such as its ID, status, metadata, and possibly URLs to access or stream the music.
If the node supports binary output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent the actual audio file or stream data of the generated music.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the VideoDB API.
- The base URL for the API defaults to
https://api.videodb.iobut can be customized via credentials. - The node uses HTTP requests with authentication to communicate with the VideoDB service.
- Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for successful operation.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
- Providing an invalid collection ID or name may result in errors or empty responses.
- Incorrectly formatted prompts or unsupported parameters might lead to API rejections.
- Network connectivity issues can prevent communication with the VideoDB API.
Error Messages:
- Authentication errors typically indicate problems with the API key; verify the credential setup.
- "Collection not found" or similar messages suggest the selected collection does not exist or is inaccessible.
- Timeout or connection errors imply network problems; check internet access and firewall settings.
Resolutions:
- Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Use the node's load options to select valid collections to avoid typos or invalid IDs.
- Validate input parameters against the API documentation.
- Retry after resolving network issues.
