Overview

This node interacts with the Fider API to manage comments on posts. Specifically, the "Edit Comment" operation allows users to update the content of an existing comment associated with a post. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically modify user feedback or discussion entries without manually editing them through the Fider web interface.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically correcting or updating comment text based on moderation rules.
  • Integrating with other systems to synchronize comment updates.
  • Enabling workflows that adjust comment content dynamically after certain triggers.

Properties

Name Meaning
URL The target URL of the Fider instance to connect to (e.g., https://example.com).
Comment ID The unique identifier of the comment to be edited.
Content The new content text for the comment.

Note: Although the provided properties JSON includes some fields related to posts (like "updateFields" with title and description), for the "Comment" resource and "Edit" operation, only commentId and content are relevant inputs.

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the updated comment as returned by the Fider API after the edit operation. It typically contains the comment's details including its ID, updated content, timestamps, and possibly metadata about the author or post association.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to a Fider instance via its API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
  • The node depends on internal helper functions (editComment) that handle the HTTP request to the Fider API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing commentId: The node will fail if the comment ID does not exist or is not provided.
    • Authentication errors: If the API key or token is invalid or missing, the node cannot communicate with the Fider API.
    • Network connectivity problems to the specified URL.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors from the Fider API (e.g., 404 Not Found if comment ID is invalid).
    • NodeOperationError wrapping any thrown exceptions during execution.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the comment ID is correct and exists.
    • Ensure the API credentials are properly set up in n8n.
    • Confirm the URL points to a reachable Fider instance.
