Dataiku DSS

Use the Dataiku DSS API

Actions364

Overview

This node integrates with the Dataiku DSS API, allowing users to perform a wide range of operations on Dataiku DSS resources. Specifically for the Project resource and the Get Project Metadata operation, it retrieves metadata information about a specified project in Dataiku DSS.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating retrieval of project details for reporting or auditing.
  • Integrating project metadata into workflows for decision-making or further processing.
  • Synchronizing project metadata with other systems or dashboards.

Example use case:

  • You want to fetch metadata of a project identified by its key to check its configuration or status before triggering downstream automation tasks.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project Key The unique identifier (key) of the project whose metadata you want to retrieve.

Output

The output JSON contains the metadata information of the specified project as returned by the Dataiku DSS API. This typically includes details such as project settings, description, tags, variables, permissions, and other configuration data related to the project.

If the API returns binary data (not typical for this operation), it would be provided as binary output, but for "Get Project Metadata" the output is JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to a Dataiku DSS instance.
  • Requires an API authentication token credential for Dataiku DSS with sufficient permissions to access project metadata.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Dataiku DSS REST API endpoint.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing credentials, ensure that the Dataiku DSS API credentials are properly configured in n8n.
  • Project Key Required: The operation requires a valid project key; if omitted or incorrect, the node will throw an error indicating the missing or invalid project key.
  • API Errors: Errors from the Dataiku DSS API (e.g., permission denied, project not found) will be surfaced as node errors. Verify the project key and user permissions.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Dataiku DSS server will cause request failures. Check network access and server availability.
