Overview
The "Get Documents" operation in the "Documents" resource is designed to retrieve documents from a specified location within a system that organizes content by buckets and vaults. This node is useful when you want to programmatically access and list documents stored in a particular bucket and vault combination, such as fetching project files, archived records, or shared resources.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically retrieving all documents from a project folder (bucket) within a specific vault for processing or backup.
- Integrating document retrieval into workflows that require document analysis, conversion, or distribution.
- Synchronizing documents from an external storage system into another application or database.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The numeric identifier of the bucket (a container or folder) from which to get documents. |
| Vault Id | The numeric identifier of the vault (a higher-level container or repository) containing the bucket. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the documents retrieved from the specified bucket and vault. Each item in the output typically contains metadata about a document, such as its ID, name, creation date, and possibly other attributes depending on the API's response structure.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent the actual content of the documents fetched, allowing further processing like file downloads or transformations.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key or OAuth2 authentication token configured in n8n to authorize requests to the external service managing the documents.
- The node depends on an external API endpoint that provides access to documents organized by bucket and vault IDs.
- Proper configuration of base URL and authentication credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
- Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Vault Id parameters will cause the node to fail or return no results.
- Authentication errors if the API key or token is not set up correctly.
- Network connectivity issues preventing access to the external API.
- Error Messages:
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are correctly configured and valid.
- "Bucket or Vault not found": Verify that the provided IDs exist and are accessible with the current credentials.
- "Timeout" or "Network error": Ensure stable internet connection and that the API endpoint is reachable.
Links and References
- Refer to the external service’s official API documentation for detailed information on the documents endpoint, including required parameters and response formats.
- n8n documentation on setting up API credentials and using HTTP request nodes may help configure this node properly.
