Overview
This node interacts with the Nexrender Cloud API to manage fonts among other resources. Specifically, the Font - Get operation retrieves detailed information about a specific font by its ID from the Nexrender service.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Fetching metadata or details of a particular font stored in Nexrender for use in video rendering projects.
- Verifying font availability or properties before starting a rendering job.
- Integrating font management into automated workflows that prepare assets for video production.
Practical example:
- You have a font uploaded to Nexrender and want to retrieve its details (such as name, style, or URL) to dynamically configure a rendering template in your workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the font you want to retrieve. This is required to specify which font's details to fetch. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the Nexrender API for the requested font. It typically includes all metadata related to the font such as its ID, family name, style, URL, and any other attributes Nexrender provides.
If the font is successfully retrieved, the output will be a JSON object representing the font resource.
Example output structure (simplified):
{
"id": "fontId123",
"familyName": "Open Sans",
"style": "Regular",
"url": "https://example.com/fonts/opensans.ttf",
...
}
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Nexrender Cloud API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the API is taken from the credential configuration.
Troubleshooting
Error: No font found with the specified ID
Ensure the font ID is correct and the font exists in your Nexrender account.Authentication errors
Verify that the API key or token used in credentials is valid and has sufficient permissions.Network or timeout issues
Check network connectivity and Nexrender service status.Unexpected response or parsing errors
Confirm that the Nexrender API endpoint is reachable and returning valid JSON.
