Overview
This node integrates with the Apaleo API to manage various hospitality-related resources. Specifically, for the Folio resource with the GET folio operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific folio by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch billing or transaction details associated with a guest's stay or account.
Practical examples include:
- Retrieving a folio to display charges and payments for a guest.
- Accessing folio data to reconcile accounts or generate invoices.
- Integrating folio details into custom reporting or accounting workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Folio ID | The unique identifier of the folio to retrieve. This is required to specify which folio's details should be fetched. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the folio data retrieved from the Apaleo API. Each object contains detailed information about the folio, such as transactions, balances, and related metadata.
If the folio includes any binary data (e.g., attached documents), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the output primarily consists of structured JSON data describing the folio.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Apaleo API.
- Needs an API authentication token (access token) configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://api.apaleo.com. - No additional external services are indicated.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Folio ID will result in errors or empty responses.
- Expired or invalid API access tokens will cause authentication failures.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
- Errors returned from the Apaleo API typically include HTTP status codes and messages indicating the problem (e.g., 404 Not Found if the folio ID does not exist).
- Authentication errors may indicate invalid credentials or expired tokens.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the Folio ID is correct and exists in the Apaleo system.
- Ensure the API credentials are valid and refreshed if necessary.
- Check network connectivity and proxy settings if applicable.
- Use the node’s "Continue On Fail" option to handle errors gracefully during batch processing.
