Interact with Nexrender Cloud API

Actions14

Overview

This node interacts with the Nexrender Cloud API, specifically to manage templates when using the "Template" resource and the "Get" operation. It retrieves detailed information about a specific template by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you want to fetch metadata or configuration details of a Nexrender template for further processing, auditing, or conditional logic within an automation workflow.

Practical example:
You have a video rendering pipeline that uses Nexrender templates. Before starting a render job, you want to verify the template's existence and inspect its properties. Using this node with the "Get" operation on the "Template" resource allows you to retrieve that template's data programmatically.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID The unique identifier of the Nexrender template to retrieve. This is required to specify which template's details to fetch.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the full details of the requested Nexrender template as returned by the Nexrender Cloud API. This typically includes all metadata and configuration fields associated with the template.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Nexrender Cloud API.
  • The node expects the base URL of the Nexrender API to be configured via credentials.
  • Network access to the Nexrender Cloud API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent template ID will likely result in an error response from the API.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors are wrapped and presented with HTTP status codes and messages if available, e.g., HTTP 404: Template not found.
    • Timeout or network errors may appear if the API is unreachable.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the template ID is correct and exists in your Nexrender account.
    • Ensure the API key credential is valid and has appropriate permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
