Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Actions100

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to manage project backups. Specifically, the "Backup Delete Project Backup Export" operation deletes an export of a specified project backup. This is useful for cleaning up or managing storage by removing unwanted or outdated backup exports.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating cleanup of old project backup exports after a certain retention period.
  • Integrating backup management into deployment pipelines to ensure only relevant backups are kept.
  • Managing storage quotas by deleting unnecessary backup exports programmatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project Backup Id The unique identifier of the project backup whose export you want to delete. This is required.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will confirm whether the deletion was successful or provide details if it failed. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes status information.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de for API requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication in n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Project Backup Id: Ensure the ID provided corresponds to an existing project backup export.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API availability issues: Check connectivity to the mittwald API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate problems with API credentials.
    • 404 Not Found may mean the specified Project Backup Id does not exist.
    • 400 Bad Request could indicate malformed input parameters.

Resolving these typically involves verifying input values, checking API credentials, and ensuring the mittwald API service is operational.
