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 Dataiku DSS resources directly from n8n workflows. It supports managing projects, deployments, bundles, datasets, dashboards, machine learning models, scenarios, and many other Dataiku DSS entities.

For the Project Deployer resource with the Create Infra operation, the node allows creating an automation infrastructure on the Dataiku Project Deployer. This is useful for automating deployment environments in Dataiku DSS, facilitating continuous integration and delivery pipelines.

Typical use cases include:

  • Automating the creation of deployment infrastructures for Dataiku projects.
  • Integrating Dataiku project deployment steps into broader workflow automations.
  • Managing Dataiku DSS resources programmatically without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Request Body JSON object containing the request payload to create the automation infrastructure.

The Request Body property is a JSON input where you specify the details required by the Dataiku API to create the infrastructure. The exact structure depends on the Dataiku Project Deployer API specification for infra creation.

Output

The node outputs the response from the Dataiku DSS API call in the json field of the output data. This typically contains the details of the created infrastructure or any relevant status information returned by the API.

If the API returns binary data (not typical for this operation), it would be available in the binary field, but for "Create Infra" operation, the output is expected to be JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid Dataiku DSS API credentials, including:
    • The URL of the Dataiku DSS server.
    • A user API key for authentication.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Dataiku DSS REST API.
  • No additional external services are required beyond access to the Dataiku DSS instance.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Credentials Error: If the node throws an error about missing credentials, ensure that the Dataiku DSS API credentials are properly configured in n8n.
  • Required Parameter Errors: The node validates required parameters such as project keys, deployment IDs, and others depending on the operation. Missing these will cause errors. For "Create Infra", ensure the request body is correctly provided.
  • API Errors: Errors returned by the Dataiku API will be surfaced with messages like "Error calling Dataiku DSS API". Check the message and stack trace for details. Common issues include invalid JSON in the request body or insufficient permissions.
  • Network Issues: Ensure that the n8n instance can reach the Dataiku DSS server URL and that firewall or network policies allow communication.
