Overview
This node allows you to delete a short link from the AvantGuard PXL service. It is useful when you want to remove an existing shortened URL, for example, if the link is no longer valid or you want to prevent further access through that short link.
A practical scenario would be managing your collection of short links by programmatically deleting outdated or incorrect ones directly from your workflow without manually accessing the service dashboard.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | Unique identifier of the short link to delete. This ID is a composite text of the domain and route (e.g., pxl.to/mylink). Prepending https:// forms the full URL of the short link. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will include confirmation of deletion or any error messages returned by the API. The output does not include binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard PXL API.
- The node communicates with the AvantGuard PXL API endpoint at
https://api.pxl.to/api. - Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Id: If the provided Id does not correspond to an existing short link, the API may return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the Id format and existence before attempting deletion.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent communication with the API endpoint. Check network settings and API availability.
- Permission Denied: If the API key lacks permissions to delete short links, the operation will fail. Confirm the API key has appropriate rights.
