Overview

This node integrates with the Lectful API to manage blog-related administrative tasks, specifically including the deletion of blog tags in admin mode. It allows users to authenticate either via stored credentials or manual configuration and perform various operations on blog resources such as posts, categories, tags, and authors.

The Delete Tag (Admin) operation under the Blog resource enables administrators to delete a specific blog tag by its ID. This is useful for maintaining and organizing blog content by removing obsolete or unwanted tags.

Practical example:
An administrator wants to clean up the blog's tagging system by removing tags that are no longer relevant. Using this node, they can specify the tag ID and delete it directly through the API without manually accessing the backend.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the API response for each input item processed.

For the Delete Tag (Admin) operation, the output JSON typically contains the result of the delete request, which may be an empty object or confirmation message indicating successful deletion.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires access to the Lectful API.
• Requires either:
  • Stored API credentials configured in n8n (base URL and API key), or
  • Manual entry of Base URL and API key overrides.
• The node uses HTTP requests with Bearer token authentication to communicate with the Lectful API.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid credentials:
  If neither stored credentials nor manual overrides are provided correctly, the node will throw errors indicating missing Base URL or API key. Ensure credentials are properly configured or manual parameters are set.

• Invalid Tag ID:
  Providing an incorrect or non-existent Tag ID will likely result in an API error. Verify the Tag ID before attempting deletion.

• API connectivity issues:
  Network problems or incorrect Base URL can cause request failures. Confirm the API endpoint is reachable and correct.

• Permission errors:
  Deleting tags requires admin-level permissions. Ensure the API key used has sufficient rights.

Summary of execute() logic for Blog Resource - Delete Tag (Admin) Operation

• Retrieves input parameters including authentication mode and tag ID.
• Determines authentication method:
  • If manual, uses provided Base URL and API key.
  • Otherwise, fetches stored credentials.
• Constructs API request to DELETE /admin/blog/tags/{tagId} endpoint.
• Sends authenticated HTTP DELETE request.
• Collects and returns the API response as JSON output.
• Handles errors gracefully, optionally continuing on failure if configured.
