Interact with Gitea via API

Actions393

Overview

This node interacts with the Gitea API to retrieve detailed information about a specific issue within a repository. It is useful for workflows that need to fetch issue data for tracking, reporting, or automation purposes. For example, you might use this node to get the details of a bug report or feature request by its index number in a given repository owned by a particular user or organization.

Properties

Name Meaning
Owner The owner (user or organization) of the repository where the issue exists.
Repo The name of the repository containing the issue.
Index The numeric index (ID) of the issue to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested issue from the Gitea API. This typically includes fields such as issue title, description, status, labels, assignees, creation date, and other metadata associated with the issue. There is no binary output.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Gitea instance.
  • Needs the base URL of the Gitea server configured in the credentials.
  • Depends on the Gitea REST API being accessible at the configured URL.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Incorrect owner or repo names will result in "not found" errors.
    • Providing an invalid or out-of-range issue index may cause the API to return an error.
    • Network connectivity problems or incorrect API URL configuration can prevent successful requests.
  • Error messages:
    • "404 Not Found": Check that the owner, repo, and issue index are correct.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Timeout or connection errors: Ensure the Gitea server is reachable from n8n.
