Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve a specific todo list from a project bucket. It is useful when you want to fetch detailed information about a particular todo list within a Basecamp project, such as its tasks, status, or metadata.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating project management workflows by fetching todo lists to analyze progress.
  • Integrating Basecamp todo lists into reporting dashboards.
  • Synchronizing todo list data with other tools or databases.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id ID of the project bucket (a container for todo lists) from which to get the todo list. Must be a number.
Todolist Id ID of the specific todo list to retrieve. Must be a number.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the requested todo list. This typically includes details such as the todo list's title, description, creation date, completion status, and the tasks it contains.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed dynamically using the authenticated user's Basecamp account ID.
  • No additional external dependencies are required beyond the Basecamp API access.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Todolist Id will cause the request to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key or OAuth token is invalid or expired.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are correctly configured and valid.
    • "Not Found" or "404": Verify that the provided Bucket Id and Todolist Id exist and belong to the authenticated user.
    • "Bad Request": Ensure that the IDs are numbers and properly passed to the node.
