Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve event data related to specific project buckets and recordings. The "Get Events" operation under the "Events" resource allows users to fetch events associated with a particular recording within a given project bucket. This is useful for scenarios where you want to monitor or analyze activity logs, changes, or updates tied to recordings in Basecamp projects.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching all events related to a meeting recording to track participant actions.
  • Retrieving event history for a recorded project discussion to audit changes or comments.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id ID of the project bucket (numeric identifier) to specify which project’s events to retrieve.
Recording Id ID of the recording (numeric identifier) within the specified bucket to get events for.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the events fetched from the Basecamp API for the specified bucket and recording. The structure typically includes details about each event such as timestamps, event types, user information, and any relevant metadata describing the event context.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed dynamically based on the authenticated user's Basecamp account ID.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Recording Id will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API credentials.
    • Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Basecamp API.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • 401 Unauthorized: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and has not expired.
    • 404 Not Found: Verify that the provided Bucket Id and Recording Id exist and are accessible by the authenticated user.
    • 400 Bad Request: Ensure that the input parameters are valid numbers and conform to expected formats.
