Overview

This node interacts with the Dikda digital archive (Slovak National Library digital archive) to perform search operations. Specifically, the 'Get by PID' operation allows users to retrieve a document by its Persistent Identifier (PID/UUID). This is useful for fetching precise documents when the unique identifier is known, such as retrieving a specific archived document by its UUID.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve a document from the Dikda archive using its UUID to get detailed metadata or content.
  2. Fetch a specific record by PID for integration into a larger workflow that processes archival data.

Properties

Name Meaning
PID (UUID) The Persistent Identifier (PID/UUID) of the document to retrieve, e.g., uuid:99a11ca9-9872-4f89-a682-432e6b54da53. This is required to specify which document to fetch.
Rows Number of results to return, typically 1 for PID lookup. Controls how many matching documents are returned.
Fields Comma-separated list of fields to return from the document. Leave empty to return all fields.
Request Options Additional request settings such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy configuration, and timeout settings.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the Dikda API containing the search results or document data.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the PID is correctly formatted, starting with 'uuid:' if not already included, to avoid query errors.
  • If no results are returned, verify the PID exists in the archive and the 'Rows' parameter is set appropriately.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow or unreachable; adjust the 'Timeout' setting or check network connectivity.
  • SSL certificate errors can be bypassed by enabling 'Ignore SSL Issues' but use with caution due to security risks.
