Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Overview

This node operation, "Project File System Get Jwt," is designed to retrieve an authorization token (JWT) for a specific project within the Project File System resource. This JWT can be used to authenticate and authorize subsequent interactions with the project's file system, enabling secure access to project files and related operations.

Common scenarios where this node would be beneficial include:

  • Automating workflows that require secure access to project files.
  • Integrating external systems or services that need temporary authorized access to a project's file system.
  • Managing project resources programmatically while ensuring proper authentication.

For example, a user might use this node to obtain a JWT before triggering a file upload or download process in an automated pipeline.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project Id The unique identifier of the project for which to retrieve the authorization token (JWT).

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the retrieved JWT token associated with the specified project. This token is typically a string used for authenticating further API requests related to the project file system.

If the node supports binary data output, it is not indicated in the provided code or properties; thus, the output is expected to be purely JSON-based.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node interacts with the mittwald mStudio API endpoint at https://api.mittwald.de.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary to successfully retrieve the JWT.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Project Id: Ensure that the "Project Id" property is correctly set and corresponds to an existing project. An incorrect or empty project ID will likely cause the request to fail.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access the project file system.
  • Network issues: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach the mittwald API endpoint without firewall or connectivity problems.
  • API response errors: If the API returns an error, check the error message for details such as rate limits, expired credentials, or insufficient permissions.
