Vikunja

Get data from Vikunja's API

Overview

This node integrates with the Vikunja API to manage tasks and their related data. Specifically, for the Task - Delete a Comment operation, it allows users to delete a comment from a specified task by providing the task's ID and the comment's ID. This is useful in scenarios where comments on tasks need to be removed due to being outdated, irrelevant, or erroneous.

Practical examples include:

  • Cleaning up task discussions by removing resolved or incorrect comments.
  • Automating comment management as part of a workflow that maintains task clarity.
  • Integrating with other systems to synchronize comment deletions.

Properties

Name Meaning
Task ID The unique numeric identifier of the task from which the comment will be deleted.
Comment ID The unique numeric identifier of the comment to be deleted from the specified task.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete comment operation. Typically, this would be a confirmation of successful deletion or an error message if the operation failed. The exact structure depends on the Vikunja API response but generally includes status information.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Vikunja API.
  • Needs an API authentication token (provided via credentials) to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for the Vikunja API must be configured correctly in the node credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Providing invalid or non-existent Task ID or Comment ID will cause the operation to fail.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent communication with the Vikunja API.
    • Insufficient permissions or invalid API credentials will result in authorization errors.
  • Error Messages:

    • "Comment not found" — Verify that the Comment ID exists under the specified Task ID.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed" — Check that the API key or token is valid and has necessary permissions.
    • "Network error" — Ensure the API URL is reachable and there are no firewall restrictions.

Resolving these typically involves verifying input IDs, checking credential validity, and ensuring network access.
