Fredhopper Product Discovery

Interact with Fredhopper Product Discovery API

Actions20

Overview

This node interacts with the Fredhopper Product Discovery API, specifically managing catalogs among other resources. The Delete Catalog operation allows users to delete a specific catalog version from a given tenant and environment.

Typical use cases include:

  • Removing outdated or incorrect catalog versions from your product discovery system.
  • Automating catalog lifecycle management within CI/CD pipelines.
  • Cleaning up test or temporary catalogs in different environments.

For example, if you have a catalog version that is no longer needed or was created by mistake, this node can be used to delete it programmatically by specifying the tenant, environment, and catalog version.

Properties

Name Meaning
Tenant The tenant identifier under which the catalog exists. Example: "solutions".
Environment The environment where the catalog is deployed. Example: "cidp-test".
Catalog Version The specific version of the catalog to delete. This must be provided explicitly.

Output

The output JSON for the Delete Catalog operation is a simple confirmation object indicating success:

{
  "deleted": true
}

This confirms that the specified catalog version has been successfully deleted.

No binary data is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential (username, password, and auth URL) to authenticate against the Fredhopper Product Discovery API.
  • The node uses OAuth2 client credentials flow to obtain an access token before making API requests.
  • Network connectivity to the Fredhopper API endpoints (https://items.attraqt.io/catalogs/...) is required.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication failed: If the node cannot obtain an access token, check that the API credentials (username, password, auth URL) are correct and valid.
  • Catalog not found or invalid version: Ensure the Catalog Version property matches an existing catalog version in the specified tenant and environment.
  • Network errors: Verify network connectivity and that the Fredhopper API endpoint is reachable.
  • Permission issues: The API user must have sufficient permissions to delete catalogs.
  • Unexpected errors: Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings to handle errors gracefully and inspect error messages returned in the output.
