Overview

This node operation retrieves detailed information about a specific user within a particular collection. It is useful when you need to fetch and display data for an individual user associated with a given collection, such as viewing user details in a content management system or database of grouped users.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching profile information of a user in a project team.
  • Retrieving user metadata for audit or reporting purposes.
  • Displaying user-specific settings or permissions within a collection.

Properties

Name Meaning
Collection Id The unique numeric identifier of the collection where the user belongs.
Id The unique numeric identifier of the user whose details are to be retrieved.

Output

The output will contain a JSON object representing the user's details within the specified collection. This typically includes fields such as user ID, name, email, roles, and other metadata related to the user in that collection context.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent any files or attachments related to the user, but this operation primarily returns structured JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the external service managing collections and users.
  • The node uses a base URL endpoint (e.g., https://api.dnsfilter.com in the bundled code, but likely replaced by the actual service URL) to make HTTP requests.
  • Proper configuration of credentials and network access to the API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Collection Id or User Id: Ensure both IDs are provided and valid numbers; otherwise, the API may return errors or empty results.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network issues: Check connectivity to the API endpoint and firewall settings.
  • Unexpected response structure: Confirm that the API version matches the node's expectations; changes in the API could cause parsing errors.

Common error messages might include:

  • "Unauthorized" or "Invalid API key": Fix by updating credentials.
  • "Not Found" for user or collection: Verify the IDs exist.
  • "Bad Request": Check input parameters for correctness.
