Exa Websets

Create, manage, and query structured datasets from web sources using Exa Websets API

Actions28

Overview

The node "Exa Websets" integrates with the Exa Websets API to create, manage, and query structured datasets derived from web sources. Specifically, the Import - Get operation allows users to retrieve details about a specific import by its unique ID. This is useful when you want to fetch metadata or status information about content imported into a webset.

Practical scenarios include:

  • Verifying the status or details of a previously initiated import.
  • Fetching import metadata for auditing or reporting purposes.
  • Integrating import data retrieval into automated workflows that manage web content ingestion.

Properties

Name Meaning
Import ID The unique identifier of the import to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The output of the node is a JSON object representing the details of the requested import. It typically includes metadata such as import status, timestamps, source information, and any other relevant attributes provided by the Exa Websets API for an import entity.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated in the provided code), it would represent associated files or content related to the import, but this is not evident here.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Exa Websets API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.exa.ai.
  • The node depends on the Exa Websets API service being available and accessible.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Import ID will cause the operation to fail.
    • Network connectivity problems or incorrect API credentials can lead to authentication errors.
    • Requesting an import ID that does not exist may return an error or empty response.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unknown resource: imports" — indicates the resource parameter was set incorrectly.
    • API errors returned from the Exa Websets service will be passed through; check the message for details like "Not Found" or "Unauthorized".

  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure the Import ID is correctly specified and exists.
    • Verify API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and API endpoint accessibility.
