Output shape

a list of JSON objects representing the result of the selected action

For file transcription complete workflow, the node handles submitting the transcription task and polling for the result until success or timeout, returning the full transcription result. For OSS upload/download, binary data is handled in specified binary properties. The response is action-specific and always includes a success flag and metadata about the operation performed.

Examples

Example 1: File transcription complete workflow

Set Action to 'File Transcription Actions', File Transcription Operation to 'Complete Workflow', provide your AppKey, Endpoint, and audio file link. The node submits the transcription task and polls for the result, returning the transcription output.

Example 2: Upload file to OSS

Set Action to 'OSS Actions', OSS Operation to 'Upload', specify region, bucket, object key and binary property to upload binary data to an OSS bucket.

Example 3: Describe ECS instances

Set Action to 'ECS Instances', ECS Operation to 'Describe Instances', specify ECS region and optional filters. Returns details about matching ECS instances.
