Overview

This node interacts with the Put.io API to manage files and folders in a Put.io account. Specifically, the 'Create Folder' operation allows users to create a new folder within a specified parent folder. This is useful for organizing files in the cloud storage service Put.io. For example, a user can automate the creation of project-specific folders to keep their files structured.

Use Case Examples

1. Create a new folder named 'ProjectX' inside the root directory (parent folder ID 0).
2. Create a subfolder inside an existing folder by specifying the parent folder ID.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - The unique identifier of the newly created folder.
• name - The name of the newly created folder.
• parent_id - The ID of the parent folder where the new folder was created.
• file_type - The type of the file system object, which will be 'FOLDER' for created folders.

Dependencies

• Put.io API
• An API key credential for Put.io

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'Folder Name' is not empty; the API requires a valid folder name to create a folder.
• Verify that the 'Parent Folder ID' is a valid folder ID in your Put.io account; using an invalid ID may cause errors.
• Common error messages include 'Invalid folder ID' if the parent folder ID is not a number, and 'No binary data exists on item' if trying to upload files without binary data (not applicable for create folder but relevant for other operations).
• If the API request fails, check your Put.io API credentials and network connectivity.
