Overview
This node integrates with the Inoreader API to manage articles and their tags. Specifically, the "Add Tag" operation allows users to add an existing tag to a specified article within their Inoreader account. This is useful for organizing articles by categorizing them under relevant tags.
Common scenarios include:
- Automatically tagging articles based on certain criteria in a workflow.
- Organizing imported or fetched articles by adding user-defined tags.
- Enhancing article management by programmatically updating tags without manual intervention.
For example, after fetching new articles from a feed, you could use this node to add a specific tag like "Important" or "To Read" to those articles automatically.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Tag Name or ID | Select the tag to add to the article. Choose from the list of available tags or specify a tag ID using an expression. |
| Article ID | The unique identifier of the article to which the tag will be added. Usually formatted like tag:google.com,2005:reader/item/0000000a9de1460f. This ID can be obtained from previous operations such as "Get From X" or triggers like "New Article in X". |
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the response from the Inoreader API after attempting to add the tag to the article. It typically contains confirmation details about the tagging action.
- Each output item corresponds to one input item processed.
- If the operation succeeds, the JSON includes the updated state or confirmation from Inoreader.
- If an error occurs (and continueOnFail is enabled), the output JSON will contain an
errorfield with the error message.
No binary data is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an authenticated connection to the Inoreader API via OAuth2 credentials.
- The node uses HTTP requests to interact with Inoreader endpoints.
- Proper API authentication setup in n8n is necessary to perform actions.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Article ID: The node throws an error if the Article ID is not provided when adding a tag. Ensure that the Article ID is correctly passed from previous nodes or triggers.
- Missing Tag ID: Similarly, the Tag ID must be specified; otherwise, the node will error out.
- Invalid IDs: Using incorrect or malformed Article or Tag IDs may cause API errors. Verify IDs are correct and exist in your Inoreader account.
- API Authentication Errors: If the OAuth2 credentials are invalid or expired, requests will fail. Re-authenticate or refresh tokens as needed.
- Rate Limits or API Downtime: Temporary failures might occur due to API limits or service issues. Implement retry logic or check Inoreader status.
