Exa Websets

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

Actions28

Overview

The node "Exa Websets" allows users to manage structured datasets called websets via the Exa Websets API. Specifically, for the Item - Delete operation, it deletes an individual item from a specified webset. This is useful when you want to remove outdated or incorrect data entries from your dataset.

Practical scenarios include:

  • Cleaning up a dataset by removing obsolete items.
  • Managing content dynamically by deleting items that no longer meet criteria.
  • Automating data maintenance workflows where items are deleted based on external triggers.

Properties

Name Meaning
Webset ID The unique identifier of the webset containing the item to be deleted.
Item ID The unique identifier of the specific item within the webset that should be deleted.

Output

The output JSON contains the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will confirm whether the deletion was successful or provide details about the deleted item. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes status information.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Exa Websets API.
  • The node communicates with the Exa Websets REST API at https://api.exa.ai.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Webset ID or Item ID will cause the operation to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key is invalid or expired.
    • Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Exa Websets API.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unknown resource": Indicates the resource parameter is incorrect; ensure "items" is selected.
    • API error responses related to authorization: Verify the API key credential is correctly set up.
    • Item not found errors: Confirm the Item ID exists within the specified Webset ID.
