Overview
This node integrates with Miniflux, a feed reader service, allowing users to interact with their feeds, categories, and entries. Specifically, the "Entry - Update" operation updates the status of a single entry (post) in Miniflux, such as marking it as read or unread. This is useful for automating feed management workflows, like marking articles as read after processing them or syncing read statuses across systems.
Practical example: Automatically mark an article as "read" in Miniflux after it has been saved or processed elsewhere, ensuring your feed reader stays up-to-date without manual intervention.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Entry ID | The unique numeric identifier of the entry (post) you want to update in Miniflux. |
| Status | The new status to set for the entry. Options are: "Read" or "Unread". |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the updated entries. Each object corresponds to an entry retrieved from Miniflux after the update, containing all its details as returned by the Miniflux API. This includes fields like entry ID, title, content, status, and other metadata.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to a Miniflux instance via an API key credential.
- The node uses HTTP requests to the Miniflux API endpoints.
- Proper configuration of the API authentication token in n8n credentials is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Entry ID: Ensure the Entry ID provided exists in your Miniflux account.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or connectivity problems: Confirm that the Miniflux server URL is reachable from the n8n environment.
Error messages:
- Unauthorized or 401 errors typically indicate invalid API credentials.
- 404 errors may mean the specified entry does not exist.
- 400 errors could result from malformed requests, such as invalid status values.
Resolving these usually involves checking credentials, verifying input parameters, and ensuring network access.
