NodePit Runner for KNIME

NodePit Runner for KNIME is a KNIME extension that connects KNIME Analytics Platform to your Runner installation. It gives you two distinct capabilities: a set of nodes for interacting with the Runner API from within your workflows, and an Explorer integration for browsing and managing Runner content directly from the KNIME workspace panel.

Installation

1. In KNIME, go to Preferences → Install/Update → Available Software Sites and add the update site for your KNIME version:

   https://download.nodepit.com/5.11

   Replace 5.11 with your KNIME version number.

2. Go to File → Install KNIME Extensions …, find NodePit Runner for KNIME, and follow the installation steps.

Alternatively, install directly from nodepit.com.

Nodes

The extension provides nodes covering all major Runner resources — Projects, Environments, Files, Schedules, Runs, Members, Executors, Users, and Access Tokens. Use them to build KNIME workflows that query run history, trigger schedules on demand, upload files, or manage Runner configuration without switching to the Runner UI.

Every workflow starts with a Server node that configures the URL of your Runner instance. Connect its output to one of the authentication nodes — Access Token (recommended for automation; see Access Tokens), Login (email and password, returns a JWT), or JWT (accepts an existing token directly). The authentication node's output port connects to all downstream operation nodes.

Explorer

The extension also integrates with the KNIME Explorer panel. After installing, open KNIME Preferences → KNIME Explorer and add a new mount point pointing to your Runner instance URL. Runner projects and their files then appear in the Explorer panel alongside your local workspace and other mount points. You can browse, upload, and download workflows and files directly from KNIME without opening the Runner UI.
