Dataiku DSS

Use the Dataiku DSS API

Actions364

Overview

This node integrates with the Dataiku DSS API, enabling users to perform a wide range of operations on various Dataiku DSS resources. Specifically for the Data Collection resource and the Get Data Collection Objects operation, the node retrieves the list of objects contained within a specified data collection.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating retrieval of data collection contents for monitoring or processing.
  • Integrating Dataiku DSS data collections into broader workflows.
  • Extracting metadata or object lists from data collections for reporting or auditing.

For example, a user might use this node to fetch all objects in a particular data collection to trigger downstream processing or validation steps.

Properties

Name Meaning
Data Collection ID The unique identifier of the data collection whose objects you want to retrieve.

Output

The output contains a JSON array where each item represents an object within the specified data collection. The exact structure depends on the Dataiku DSS API response but typically includes details about each object such as its ID, type, and associated metadata.

If the operation involves downloading files (not applicable for this specific operation), binary data would be returned accordingly.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to a Dataiku DSS instance.
  • Requires valid API credentials (an API key) for authentication with the Dataiku DSS API.
  • The node expects the Dataiku DSS server URL and user API key to be configured in the credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws "Missing Dataiku DSS API Credentials," ensure that the API key credential is properly set up in n8n.
  • Required Parameter Missing: Errors like "Data Collection ID is required" indicate that mandatory input parameters are not provided. Verify that the Data Collection ID is correctly set.
  • API Request Failures: Network issues, incorrect server URLs, or invalid API keys can cause request failures. Check connectivity and credential validity.
  • Unexpected Response Format: If the node cannot parse the response, verify that the Dataiku DSS API version is compatible and that the requested resource exists.
