Dataiku DSS

Use the Dataiku DSS API

Actions364

Overview

This node integrates with the Dataiku DSS API, allowing users to perform a wide range of operations on various Dataiku DSS resources such as meanings, datasets, dashboards, projects, and more. It is designed to facilitate automation and interaction with Dataiku DSS from within n8n workflows.

For the Meaning resource with the Update Meaning operation, the node updates the definition of an existing meaning in Dataiku DSS by sending the updated data to the appropriate API endpoint.

Common scenarios:

  • Automating updates to metadata or definitions of meanings in Dataiku DSS.
  • Integrating Dataiku DSS meaning updates into larger data processing or governance workflows.
  • Synchronizing meaning definitions across environments or projects programmatically.

Practical example:

  • A user wants to update the description or attributes of a specific meaning identified by its ID. They provide the meaning ID and the new definition in JSON format, and the node sends this update to Dataiku DSS via its API.

Properties

Name Meaning
Meaning ID The unique identifier of the meaning to get or update. Required for "Get Meaning" and "Update Meaning" operations.
Request Body JSON object containing the data to update the meaning. Used in update operations to specify the new meaning definition.

Output

The node outputs the response from the Dataiku DSS API call in the json field of the output item. For the "Update Meaning" operation, this typically includes the updated meaning object or confirmation of the update.

If the API returns binary data (not typical for meanings), it would be provided in the binary field, but for meanings, the output is JSON.

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 uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Dataiku DSS REST API.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the API credentials are not set or invalid, the node will throw an error indicating missing credentials. Ensure that the API key credential is configured correctly in n8n.
  • Required Parameter Missing: The node validates required parameters like Meaning ID for update/get operations. If these are missing, it throws an error specifying which parameter is required.
  • API Errors: Errors returned by the Dataiku DSS API (e.g., 404 if the meaning ID does not exist) will be surfaced as node errors. Check the meaning ID and request body correctness.
  • JSON Parsing Errors: If the API response is not valid JSON, the node attempts to handle it gracefully, but malformed responses may cause issues.
