Exa Websets

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

Actions28

Overview

The node "Exa Websets" allows users to create, manage, and query structured datasets called websets from web sources using the Exa Websets API. Specifically, the Update operation on the Webset resource enables updating existing websets by modifying their configuration or external identifier.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where you maintain collections of web content (websets) and need to programmatically update their settings or metadata without manual intervention. For example, you might want to adjust the configuration JSON of a webset to change how data is processed or update an external ID used for integration with other systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Webset ID The unique identifier of the webset to update.
Update Fields A collection of fields to update in the webset:
- Configuration JSON-formatted configuration data to update the webset's settings.
- External ID A string to update the external identifier associated with the webset.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the update operation on the webset. This typically includes the updated webset details as returned by the Exa Websets API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Exa Websets API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.exa.ai.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or missing Webset ID will likely cause the API to return an error.
    • Malformed JSON in the Configuration field can lead to request failures.
    • Network or authentication errors if the API key is incorrect or expired.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors related to unknown resources or operations indicate misconfiguration of the Resource or Operation parameters.
    • API errors will be surfaced in the node output under an error field if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the Webset ID exists and is correct.
    • Ensure the Configuration JSON is valid.
    • Confirm the API key credential is properly set up and has required permissions.
