Actions4
Overview
This node interacts with the Podfeed API to manage AI-generated podcast-style audio content. Specifically, the Get Task Status operation allows users to check the current status of an audio generation task by providing its unique task ID. This is useful for monitoring progress or verifying completion before retrieving the final audio.
Common scenarios include:
- Tracking the progress of a long-running audio generation request.
- Integrating with workflows that need to wait or react based on the audio generation state.
- Debugging or auditing tasks by checking their current status.
Example: After submitting text to generate audio, you can use this operation to poll the task status and proceed only when the audio is ready.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Task ID | The unique identifier of the audio generation task returned from a previous generate audio operation. Required to query the task status. |
Output
The output JSON contains the full response from the Podfeed API about the task status. Typical fields may include:
status: Current state of the task (e.g., "pending", "processing", "completed", "failed").error: If failed, an error message describing the failure.- Additional metadata related to the task progress or result.
No binary data is output by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Podfeed service.
- The node uses the Podfeed API base URL configured in the credentials.
- Network access to the Podfeed API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Task ID: If the provided task ID does not exist or is malformed, the API may return an error or empty response. Verify the task ID is correct and was obtained from a successful generate audio call.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has proper permissions.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Podfeed API will cause request failures.
- Task Failed Status: If the task status returns "failed" with an error message, review the error details to understand why the audio generation did not succeed.
