Inoreader

Interact with the Inoreader API

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 error field 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.
