Overview
This node integrates with the Exa Websets API to manage structured datasets derived from web sources. Specifically, the Import - Delete operation allows users to delete an existing import by specifying its unique Import ID. This is useful for cleaning up or removing outdated or incorrect imported data from the system.
Practical scenarios include:
- Removing an import that was created by mistake.
- Deleting imports that are no longer relevant to keep the dataset clean.
- Automating cleanup of imports as part of a larger workflow managing web content.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Import ID | The unique identifier of the import to delete. This is required to specify which import should be removed. |
Output
The output of this operation will be JSON data representing the result of the delete request. Typically, this might include confirmation of deletion or status information returned by the API. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally confirms whether the import was successfully deleted.
No binary data output is expected from this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Exa Websets API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://api.exa.ai.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent Import ID will likely cause an error indicating the import could not be found.
- Missing or incorrect API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the API endpoint.
Error messages and resolutions:
- "Unknown resource" — This indicates the resource parameter is incorrect; ensure "imports" is selected.
- "Import not found" or similar — Verify the Import ID is correct and exists.
- Authentication errors — Check that the API key credential is properly set up and valid.
- Network errors — Confirm internet connectivity and that the API endpoint is reachable.
