Overview
This node interacts with the LearningSuite API to retrieve information about modules and their sections within courses. Specifically, the "Get Module Sections" operation fetches the sections that belong to a specified module, optionally filtered by course.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Educational platforms or LMS integrations where you need to dynamically list or process module sections.
- Automating workflows that depend on course content structure, such as generating reports or syncing content.
- Building dashboards or interfaces that display detailed course/module breakdowns.
For example, you might use this node to get all sections of a particular module in a course to then send notifications about upcoming lessons or to update external systems with the latest course structure.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Course Name or ID | Optional filter to specify the course whose modules you want to query. You can select from a dropdown list of available courses or provide a course ID using an expression. |
| Module Name or ID | Required selection of the module for which to retrieve sections. The list can be filtered by the selected course if provided. Alternatively, you can enter a module ID directly via an expression. |
Output
The output is a JSON array where each item represents a section belonging to the specified module. Each section object typically contains details such as section ID, name, description, order, and other metadata defined by the LearningSuite API.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated explicitly here), it would represent any associated files or media linked to the sections, but based on the code and properties, the output is purely JSON structured data describing module sections.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid connection to the LearningSuite API, authenticated via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The base URL for the API is taken from the credentials configuration.
- The node depends on internal handlers mapped for the "module" resource and "getSections" operation to perform the API call.
Troubleshooting
- No handler for resource and operation: If you see an error like
No handler for resource "module" and operation "getSections", ensure that the node's resource and operation parameters are correctly set and supported by the installed version of the node. - Invalid or missing module ID: Since the module ID is required, leaving it empty or providing an invalid ID will cause errors. Verify the module exists and the ID is correct.
- API authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is properly configured and has sufficient permissions to access course and module data.
- Empty results: If no sections are returned, confirm that the module actually contains sections and that the optional course filter matches the module's course.
