!n8n-nodes-azuracast

@renebello/n8n-nodes-azuracast is an n8n community node that connects AzuraCast with n8n workflows through the official AzuraCast Web API.

AzuraCast is a self-hosted web radio platform for stations, media, playlists, requests, webhooks, reports, and admin operations. n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation platform.

Installation

Follow the official n8n community node installation guide.

Package name:

@renebello/n8n-nodes-azuracast

Operations

This package provides one AzuraCast node with operations organized by official API tag.

Inside the node, actions are grouped by resource/tag, for example:

• Administration General
• Administration Users
• Public Now Playing
• Public Stations
• Stations Media
• Stations Playlists
• Stations Web Hooks

Resources and actions are generated from the official AzuraCast OpenAPI source.

Current operation coverage in this repository:

• 263 / 263 operation IDs

Request and response support:

• CRUD-first action labels per resource, plus advanced actions where applicable
• Resource Locator selectors for common IDs (stations, playlists, media, podcasts, webhooks, and more)
• Path parameters
• Query parameters
• JSON body
• Raw body
• Binary body
• Multipart form-data upload
• JSON response
• Text response
• Binary response

Credentials

Create an AzuraCast API credential in n8n.

Credential fields:

• Base URL: for example https://radio.example.com
• API Key: your AzuraCast API key (optional for public endpoints)

The node resolves API base paths automatically. When an API key is set, requests include both X-API-Key and Authorization: Bearer ... headers. Public operations can run without a key, while protected operations require one.

Credential test behavior in n8n:

• Without API key: tests connectivity using a public endpoint.
• With API key: tests authentication using an authenticated account endpoint.

For advanced API authentication and endpoint behavior, see the official AzuraCast API documentation:

• AzuraCast API docs

Compatibility

• n8n community nodes API: v1
• Node package format: n8n community node package
• This node is intended for n8n v1-based installations

Usage

Basic flow:

1. Add the AzuraCast node.
2. Select or create AzuraCast API credentials.
3. Choose a Resource (API domain/tag).
4. Choose an Action.
5. Select IDs from list pickers (or enter IDs manually) and fill required query/body inputs.
6. Execute the node.

Notes:

• The action selector is grouped by official AzuraCast API tags.
• Each action shows only the fields relevant to that specific endpoint.
• ID-heavy actions include Resource Locator pickers with list search to improve UX in n8n.
• Legacy workflows that use operationId and JSON parameter blocks remain supported.
• When AzuraCast updates its API, regenerate and verify operation coverage:

– npm run generate:operations
– npm run verify:operations

Workflow Examples

1. Public now playing (no API key)

Use this when you only need current public playback data.

1. Add AzuraCast node.
2. Select Resource: Public Now Playing.
3. Select Action: Get All Now Playing.
4. Use credentials with only Base URL.
5. Execute and consume {{$json.data}}.

2. Create station webhook (authenticated)

Use this to register outbound events from AzuraCast.

1. Add AzuraCast node.
2. Select Resource: Stations Web Hooks.
3. Select Action: Create Webhook.
4. Set Station from the Resource Locator.
5. Fill webhook payload fields and execute.
6. Use {{$json.data}} as created webhook response.

3. Upload media file to a station

Use this to automate media ingestion from binary input.

1. Add a node that outputs binary audio in property data.
2. Add AzuraCast node.
3. Select Resource: Stations Media.
4. Select Action: Upload File.
5. Set Station with Resource Locator.
6. Keep binary property as data or set your custom property name.
7. Execute and check {{$json.data}} for upload result.

Execution behavior:

• Response wrapping is enabled by default and returns { success, data, operation }.
• Delete actions return { deleted: true } when successful.
• If Continue On Fail is enabled, failed items return structured error payloads with operation and resource context.

Publish to npm

Pre-publish checklist:

1. Run npm run validate:publish
2. Confirm package contents with npm run pack:check
3. Confirm npm publish metadata with npm run publish:dry-run
4. Confirm action metadata rendering with npm run verify:ui

Package naming and discovery requirements for n8n:

• Package name starts with n8n-nodes- (or @scope/n8n-nodes-...)
• keywords includes n8n-community-node-package
• package.json includes an n8n block with built node and credential paths

Publishing options:

• Recommended release flow: npm run release
• Automated publish with provenance:

– Create the repository secret NPM_TOKEN with publish permissions on npm
– Push a tag like v0.1.0 and let GitHub Actions run .github/workflows/publish.yml

• Direct publish flow: npm run release:publish
• If you use a scoped package name, publish with public access enabled

Versioning:

• Patch: npm version patch
• Minor: npm version minor
• Major: npm version major

Version history

0.1.10

• Updated the node subtitle to show both action and resource in the n8n editor
• Sorted action dropdowns by visible label across all AzuraCast resources
• Sorted optional parameter collections alphabetically for cleaner field discovery
• Updated all Resource Locator labels to the Name or ID pattern with clearer list/manual ID guidance
• Refined advanced request and response option descriptions without changing execution behavior

0.1.9

• Wrapped runtime API failures in NodeApiError for clearer n8n error details in the UI
• Updated grouped resource labels to singular display names aligned with n8n UX guidance
• Expanded local verification to cover resource labels and thrown API error behavior

0.1.8

• Added explicit body-field UX for AzuraCast actions with missing request schema in OpenAPI, including file management, backups, waveform cache, account security, and playlist apply actions
• Added Auto-mode JSON request body support for actions that require free-form JSON payloads (putMe, putStationLiquidsoapConfig)
• Added masked input rendering for sensitive fields such as secret
• Expanded local simulation and real QA tooling to validate these payload mappings and classify environment-limited read-only errors correctly
