Overview

This node interacts with the "comments" resource of the Blinko API, specifically supporting the operation to retrieve multiple comments associated with a particular note. It is useful when you want to fetch all or a subset of comments linked to a specific note in your Blinko workspace.

Common scenarios include:

  • Aggregating user feedback or discussion threads related to a note.
  • Displaying recent comments for a note in an external dashboard.
  • Automating workflows that depend on comment data from notes.

For example, you can use this node to get the latest 30 comments on a note or retrieve all comments if you want to process them further.

Properties

Name Meaning
Note ID The unique identifier (number) of the note for which to retrieve comments.
Return All Boolean flag indicating whether to return all comments or limit the number of results.
Limit Maximum number of comments to return if "Return All" is false. Minimum value is 1.
Additional Fields: Order By Specifies the order of the returned comments: "Ascending" or "Descending" by default.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array where each element represents a comment object retrieved from the Blinko API. Each comment typically includes details such as the comment text, author information, timestamps, and any other metadata provided by the API.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Blinko API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses the base URL and authentication credentials obtained from the configured API credential.
  • No additional external dependencies are required beyond the Blinko API access.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Note ID will likely result in an error or empty results.
    • If the API key credential is missing or invalid, authentication errors will occur.
    • Setting "Return All" to false but not specifying a reasonable "Limit" may cause unexpected truncation of results.

  • Error Messages:

    • "The operation "listComments" is not supported!" — This indicates an internal mismatch; ensure the operation name is correctly set.
    • "The resource "comments" is not supported!" — This suggests the resource parameter is incorrect or unsupported.
    • API authentication errors usually indicate issues with the configured API key credential.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the Note ID exists and is correct.
    • Confirm the API key credential is properly configured and has necessary permissions.
    • Adjust "Return All" and "Limit" settings according to your needs.
