Overview
This node integrates with the CodeQR API to manage short links. Specifically, the "Delete Link" operation allows users to remove a short link by its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where a previously created short link is no longer needed or should be invalidated for security or organizational reasons.
Practical examples include:
- Cleaning up expired or unused short links.
- Revoking access to content shared via a short link.
- Managing and maintaining an organized set of active short links.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Method of authenticating with the API. Options: Access Token |
| Link ID | The unique identifier of the short link to delete (required) |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the CodeQR API after attempting to delete the specified short link. The exact structure depends on the API's response but typically includes confirmation of deletion or error details if the operation failed.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the CodeQR API.
- The node expects proper configuration of this API authentication within n8n credentials.
- Network connectivity to the CodeQR service endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent Link ID will likely result in an error response from the API.
- Missing or incorrect API authentication token will cause authentication failures.
- Network issues can prevent communication with the CodeQR API.
Error messages:
"Operation not supported": This indicates that the requested operation is not implemented for the given resource; ensure you are using the correct Resource-Operation combination.- API errors related to authorization or invalid parameters will be returned as part of the node's error output. Verify the Link ID and authentication token.
Resolutions:
- Double-check the Link ID for correctness.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has the necessary permissions.
- Confirm network access to the CodeQR API endpoint.
