Overview

This node interacts with the "File Links" resource to retrieve information about a specific storage entity by its identifier. It is useful when you need to fetch details about a particular storage item within a file linking system, such as metadata or configuration related to that storage.

A practical example would be automating workflows where you need to verify or process files stored in different storage locations by first retrieving their storage details.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the storage entity corresponding to the provided Id. This typically includes all relevant details about the storage, such as its configuration, status, and metadata.

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent the actual file content or related binary attachments, but based on the provided code and properties, the output focuses on JSON metadata.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication to access the external service managing file links and storages.
• The node depends on a REST API endpoint configured via credentials, which must provide access to the storage information.
• Proper base URL and authentication headers must be set up in the node's credentials configuration.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Providing an invalid or non-existent storage Id will likely result in an error or empty response.
  • Missing or incorrect API credentials can cause authentication failures.
  • Network connectivity problems may prevent the node from reaching the API endpoint.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication errors indicate invalid or missing API keys; ensure credentials are correctly configured.
  • Not found errors suggest the specified storage Id does not exist; verify the Id value.
  • Timeout or connection errors imply network issues; check connectivity and API availability.

Links and References

• Refer to the external API documentation for the File Links service to understand the structure of storage entities and available endpoints.
• n8n documentation on creating and configuring API credentials for secure access.
