Consume Discuss Kit API

Overview

This node integrates with the Discuss Kit API to manage various content types such as discussions, blogs, bookmarks, documents, comments, labels, boards, and search queries. Specifically for the Discussion resource with the Pin operation, it allows users to pin a discussion post by its ID. Pinning a discussion typically highlights or prioritizes it within a forum or community platform, making it more visible to users.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Moderators or administrators wanting to highlight important discussion posts.
  • Automatically pinning announcements or featured topics in a community.
  • Managing content visibility programmatically within workflows.

Example: Pinning a discussion post with a given Content ID to ensure it appears at the top of the discussion list.

Properties

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

Output

The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Discuss Kit API after attempting to pin the specified discussion post. This typically includes details about the updated post, confirming that it has been pinned successfully.

The output is structured as an array of JSON objects, each representing the result of the pin operation for an input item.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Discuss Kit API endpoint.
  • May require an API authentication token or API key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
  • Uses internal helper functions to make HTTP requests to the Discuss Kit API.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Content ID: If the provided Content ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the post 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 pin operations may hit rate limits imposed by the Discuss Kit API. Implement error handling or delays if necessary.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network status and API availability.
