mittwald

Overview

This node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API to manage backups related to projects. Specifically, the "Backup Delete Project Backup" operation allows users to delete a project backup by specifying its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where old or unnecessary backups need to be removed to free up storage or maintain an organized backup system.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically cleaning up outdated project backups after a deployment.
• Removing backups that were created erroneously or are no longer needed.
• Managing backup lifecycle as part of a larger automation workflow.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will confirm whether the deletion was successful or provide details about any errors encountered. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
• The node sends requests to the base URL: https://api.mittwald.de.
• Proper configuration of the API authentication credential within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Providing an invalid or non-existent Project Backup Id will likely result in an error response from the API.
  • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the mittwald API.

• Error messages and resolutions:

  • "Unauthorized" or similar authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • "Not Found" or "Project Backup Id does not exist": Double-check the provided Project Backup Id for correctness.
  • Timeouts or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the API endpoint is reachable.
