Overview

This node operation retrieves a media file by its unique identifier (ID) from a media service. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch specific media content, such as images, videos, or audio files, by referencing their ID. For example, it can be used in workflows that manage digital assets, content delivery, or media libraries to get detailed information or the actual media file for further processing or display.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetching a user-uploaded image by its ID to display on a website.
  2. Retrieving a video file from a media library for processing or analysis.
  3. Accessing an audio clip by ID to include in a podcast episode.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the media file to retrieve. This is a required numeric input.
Request Options Additional settings to customize the request behavior, including batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy configuration, and request timeout.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the retrieved media file.
  • mediaData - The data or metadata of the media file retrieved by the ID.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the media service.

Troubleshooting

  • If the media ID is invalid or not found, the node may return an error or empty response. Verify the ID is correct.
  • SSL certificate errors can occur if the server uses a self-signed or invalid certificate; enabling 'Ignore SSL Issues' may help but reduces security.
  • Proxy configuration errors may prevent the request from completing; ensure proxy settings are correct.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow or unresponsive; increasing the timeout value can help.
