Overview

This node operation retrieves a specific upload from a designated storage bucket. It is useful when you need to access or inspect the details of a particular file that has been previously uploaded and stored in a bucket. For example, you might use this node to fetch metadata or content information about an uploaded document or image by specifying its unique identifiers.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id The numeric identifier of the storage bucket where the upload resides.
Upload Id The numeric identifier of the specific upload to retrieve within the bucket.

Output

The output contains a JSON object representing the details of the requested upload. This typically includes metadata such as the upload's name, size, type, creation date, and possibly URLs or references to access the file content. If the node supports binary data output, it would represent the actual file content of the upload.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service managing the buckets and uploads.
  • The node depends on connectivity to the external storage or upload management API.
  • Proper configuration of the API endpoint and authentication credentials is necessary within n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:
    • Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Upload Id will cause the node to fail retrieving the upload.
    • Authentication errors if the API key or token is incorrect or expired.
    • Network connectivity issues preventing access to the external API.
  • Error Messages:
    • "Upload not found" indicates the specified upload ID does not exist in the given bucket.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed" suggests problems with the provided API credentials.
  • Resolutions:
    • Verify that both Bucket Id and Upload Id are correct and correspond to existing resources.
    • Ensure the API key or authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Check network settings and API endpoint configurations.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service’s API documentation for detailed information on upload retrieval endpoints.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and handle binary data outputs.
