Overview
This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve a list of projects. Specifically, the "Get All Projects" operation fetches all projects associated with the authenticated Basecamp account. It is useful for scenarios where you want to list or process multiple projects at once, such as generating reports, syncing project data with other tools, or filtering projects based on their status.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Retrieve all active projects to display in a dashboard.
- Archive or clean up projects by first listing those that are archived or trashed.
- Integrate project data into another system by fetching all projects and then processing them downstream.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Status | Filter projects by their status. Possible values: active, archived, or trashed. If left empty, no status filter is applied and all projects are returned. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing an array of projects retrieved from the Basecamp API. Each project object typically includes details such as project ID, name, status, creation date, and other metadata provided by the API.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would typically relate to attachments or files associated with projects, but this operation focuses on JSON project data only.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication token credential for Basecamp (OAuth2 or similar).
- The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed dynamically using the user's Basecamp account ID.
- No additional external dependencies beyond the Basecamp API and proper credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure that the API key or OAuth2 token is valid and has sufficient permissions to access project data.
- Empty results: If no projects are returned, verify the status filter value or try removing it to fetch all projects.
- API rate limits: Basecamp may enforce rate limits; if you encounter errors related to too many requests, implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
- Network issues: Check connectivity to the Basecamp API endpoint.
