Overview

This node interacts with the Discuss Kit API to manage discussion boards and related entities. Specifically, for the Board - Get Many operation, it retrieves multiple discussion boards from the API. This is useful when you want to list all available boards or a subset of them within an automation workflow.

Common scenarios include:

  • Fetching all discussion boards to display in a dashboard.
  • Retrieving a limited number of boards for processing or reporting.
  • Integrating board data into other systems or workflows.

For example, you might use this node to get all boards and then iterate over them to gather statistics or post updates.

Properties

Name Meaning
Return All Whether to return all results or only up to a given limit. Options: true or false.
Limit Max number of results to return (only used if "Return All" is false). Minimum value is 1.

Output

The output JSON contains an array of board objects under the key boards. Each board object represents a discussion board with its properties as returned by the Discuss Kit API.

Example structure of each board object (based on typical API response, not explicitly detailed in code):

{
  "id": "string",
  "name": "string",
  "color": "string",
  "text_color": "string",
  // ... other board-specific fields
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Discuss Kit API endpoint.
  • Uses an API request helper function internally to make HTTP requests.
  • Optionally requires an API authentication token or credential configured in n8n to authorize requests to the Discuss Kit API.

Troubleshooting

  • Empty result set: If no boards are returned, verify that the API credentials are correct and that there are boards created in the Discuss Kit instance.
  • API request failures: Errors such as network issues or authorization failures will throw exceptions. Ensure the API key or token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Limit ignored when Return All is true: The limit property is only applied when Return All is false; otherwise, all boards are fetched.
  • Rate limiting: If many requests are made in a short time, the API may throttle requests. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
