Overview

This node interacts with the "Asset Layouts" resource of an external service, specifically to retrieve details about a single Asset Layout by its unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch configuration or metadata related to a specific asset layout within a system, for example, to display layout details in a dashboard, validate layout configurations, or integrate layout data into other workflows.

A practical example would be: given an Asset Layout ID, the node fetches all associated information about that layout, which can then be used downstream in the workflow for reporting or further processing.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the requested Asset Layout. This property is required to specify which Asset Layout to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested Asset Layout. The structure typically includes all relevant fields describing the layout, such as its name, configuration parameters, and any metadata provided by the external service.

If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent any associated files or media linked to the Asset Layout, but this is not indicated here.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key or authentication token configured in the node credentials to access the external service.
  • The base URL for the API is set dynamically from the credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building request properties and handling API interactions.
  • Uses an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node to define available operations and parameters.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Asset Layout ID will likely result in an error or empty response.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the external API.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or missing API keys; verify credential setup.
    • "Not Found" or similar errors suggest the specified Asset Layout ID does not exist; double-check the ID value.
    • Timeout or connection errors imply network issues; ensure the API endpoint is reachable.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service's API documentation for detailed schema and examples of Asset Layouts.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and use custom nodes with OpenAPI specifications.
