Overview
The "Get Community Forums" operation in the LearningSuite node retrieves a list of community forums filtered by a specific community area. This node is useful for scenarios where you want to programmatically access discussion forums within a particular section of a community platform, such as fetching forums related to a product category, support topics, or interest groups.
Practical examples include:
- Displaying available forums in a dashboard filtered by user interest areas.
- Automating forum data extraction for analytics or reporting.
- Integrating community forum listings into other applications or workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Area Name or ID | The ID of the community area to filter forums. You can select from a dynamically loaded list or specify an ID using an expression. |
| Limit | Maximum number of forum results to return. |
| Offset | Number of forum results to skip for pagination purposes. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing community forums. Each object contains details about a forum within the specified community area. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes forum identifiers, names, descriptions, and possibly metadata like creation dates or activity stats.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid API key credential for the LearningSuite API.
- The node uses the base URL configured in the credentials to make requests.
- The "Area Name or ID" property relies on a dynamic options loader method that fetches available community areas from the API.
Troubleshooting
- No handler error: If you see an error stating no handler exists for the resource-operation combination, ensure you have selected "Community" as the resource and "Get Community Forums" as the operation.
- Invalid Area ID: Providing an incorrect or non-existent area ID will likely result in empty results or API errors. Use the dropdown or verify the ID via expressions.
- Pagination issues: Setting offset or limit incorrectly may cause unexpected results or missing data. Ensure offset is zero or positive and limit is at least 1.
- API authentication failures: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
