Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve a specific document from a given project bucket. It is useful when you want to programmatically access and fetch the details of a particular document stored within a Basecamp project. For example, you might use this node to automate workflows that require fetching project documentation or notes for further processing or integration with other tools.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id The numeric identifier of the project bucket where the document is stored. This specifies the container or folder in Basecamp.
Document Id The numeric identifier of the document to retrieve from the specified bucket.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved document's details as returned by the Basecamp API. This typically includes metadata such as the document's title, content, creation date, author information, and any other relevant fields provided by the API. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials to access the Basecamp API.
  • The node depends on the Basecamp API being accessible and the user having appropriate permissions to read documents from the specified bucket.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Bucket Id or Document Id: If either ID is incorrect or does not exist, the API will return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the IDs are correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have not expired.
  • Permission Denied: The authenticated user must have permission to access the specified bucket and document.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may lead to rate limiting; handle retries accordingly.
