Consume Discuss Kit API

Overview

This node interacts with the Discuss Kit API to manage blog content, specifically allowing users to pin a blog post. Pinning a blog post typically highlights or prioritizes it within a list or feed, making it more visible to readers.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Highlighting important or featured blog posts on a website.
  • Managing blog post visibility dynamically based on events or schedules.
  • Automating content curation workflows by programmatically pinning/unpinning posts.

For example, you could use this node in an automation that pins a newly published blog post to the top of your blog listing, ensuring it gains immediate attention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Content ID The unique identifier (ID) of the blog content to be pinned. This is required to specify which blog post should be pinned.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Discuss Kit API after attempting to pin the specified blog post. This typically includes details about the updated blog post, such as its ID and pinned status.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Discuss Kit API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • The node uses an internal helper function to make HTTP requests to the Discuss Kit API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Content ID: If the provided Content ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the ID before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authorization failures. Ensure the API key or token is correctly set up in n8n.
  • API Rate Limits: Frequent calls may hit rate limits imposed by the Discuss Kit API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network settings and API availability.
