Overview
This node integrates with the Lectful API to manage blog categories and other resources. Specifically, for the Blog - Get Category (Admin) operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific blog category by its ID using admin-level access.
Typical use cases include:
- Fetching metadata and details of a blog category for administrative purposes.
- Automating content management workflows where blog categories need to be reviewed or processed.
- Integrating blog category data into other systems or dashboards.
Example: An admin wants to retrieve the description and name of a blog category identified by a given ID to display or update it elsewhere.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authentication Mode | Choose how to authenticate with the Lectful API: - Use Stored Credentials - Manual Configuration (provide base URL and API key manually) |
| Base URL Override | Optional base URL to override the credential setting (without /api/v1). Used only in Manual Configuration mode. |
| API Key Override | Optional API key to override the credential setting. Used only in Manual Configuration mode. |
| Category ID | The unique identifier of the blog category to retrieve. This is required for the Get Category (Admin) operation. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the blog category details as returned by the Lectful API. This typically includes fields such as:
id: The category's unique identifier.name: The name of the blog category.description: A textual description of the category.- Other metadata fields related to the category.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the Lectful API.
- Requires either stored credentials configured in n8n or manual entry of the base URL and API key.
- The API key must have sufficient permissions to perform admin-level operations on blog categories.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid credentials: If neither stored credentials nor manual configuration parameters are provided correctly, the node will throw an error indicating missing or invalid credentials.
- Missing Category ID: The Category ID property is required; omitting it will cause the node to fail.
- API errors: Errors from the Lectful API (e.g., unauthorized access, category not found) will be propagated. Check that the API key has admin rights and the category ID exists.
- Base URL Override issues: When using manual mode, ensure the base URL does not include
/api/v1as it is appended automatically.
