Overview
This node interacts with the "Card Tables" resource of an API, specifically to retrieve details of a single card within a specified bucket. It is useful when you need to fetch detailed information about a particular card in a project management or organizational tool that uses buckets and cards as data structures.
Practical examples include:
- Retrieving the status or content of a specific task card in a project bucket.
- Fetching metadata or comments associated with a card for display or further processing.
- Integrating card details into reports or dashboards by pulling live data from the system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The unique numeric identifier of the bucket containing the card. This is required to specify which bucket to look into. |
| Card Id | The unique numeric identifier of the card to retrieve within the specified bucket. This identifies the exact card to fetch. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested card. This typically includes all available fields related to the card such as title, description, status, assigned users, due dates, and any other metadata provided by the API.
If the API supports binary data associated with cards (e.g., attachments), the node would also handle binary output accordingly, but this is not explicitly indicated here.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
- The node depends on the Basecamp API endpoint for card tables, specifically the endpoint to get a card by its bucket and card IDs.
- Proper configuration of the API base URL and authentication credentials in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Bucket Id or Card Id: If either ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the IDs before running the node.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key or OAuth token is correctly configured.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failed requests. Check network access and API availability.
- Permission Denied: If the authenticated user lacks permission to access the specified bucket or card, the API will return an authorization error.
