Connect
Establishes a connection to the Replicate AI platform for use with other Replicate AI nodes.
Common Properties
- Name - The custom name of the node.
- Color - The custom color of the node.
- Delay Before (sec) - Waits in seconds before executing the node.
- Delay After (sec) - Waits in seconds after executing node.
- Continue On Error - Automation will continue regardless of any error. The default value is false.
info
If the ContinueOnError property is true, no error is caught when the project is executed, even if a Catch node is used.
Inputs
This node does not require any inputs.
Options
- API Key - The Replicate API token credential used to authenticate with the service.
- Use Robomotion Credits - When enabled, uses Robomotion credits instead of a direct Replicate API key.
Output
- Connection Id - The unique identifier for the established connection, to be used with other Replicate AI nodes.
How It Works
The Connect node establishes a connection to the Replicate AI platform and generates a connection identifier. When executed, the node:
- Validates the provided API Key credential (if not using Robomotion Credits)
- Creates a client connection to the Replicate API
- Returns a Connection Id that can be used with other Replicate AI nodes
Requirements
- A valid Replicate AI account
- Either a Replicate API key or Robomotion credits (depending on the selected option)
Error Handling
The node will return specific errors in the following cases:
- Empty or invalid API Key credential
- Network issues when establishing the connection
- Invalid Replicate API credentials
Usage Notes
- The Connection Id output should be connected to the Connection Id input of other Replicate AI nodes
- When using Robomotion Credits, some features may be limited compared to using a direct API key
- The connection is established each time the node is executed
- Store the Connection Id in a variable if you need to reuse it across multiple nodes
