Basecamp

Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve a specific schedule entry from a given bucket. It is useful when you want to fetch detailed information about a particular scheduled item within a project or team environment managed in Basecamp. For example, you might use this node to get the details of a meeting, deadline, or event stored in a Basecamp schedule to display it in a dashboard or trigger further automation based on the schedule entry's data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id The unique numeric identifier of the schedule bucket (a container for schedule entries).
Entry Id The unique numeric identifier of the specific schedule entry to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the requested schedule entry. This JSON typically includes all relevant details of the schedule entry such as title, description, start and end times, participants, and any other metadata provided by the Basecamp API for that entry.

If the node supports binary data output, it would generally relate to attachments or files linked to the schedule entry, but based on the provided code and properties, the primary output is structured JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
  • The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed dynamically using the authenticated user's Basecamp account ID.
  • No additional external dependencies are indicated beyond the Basecamp API and its authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Entry Id will cause the API request to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key or OAuth token is invalid or expired.
    • Network issues or incorrect Basecamp account configuration can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error Messages:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are correctly configured and valid.
    • "Not Found" or "404 error": Verify that the Bucket Id and Entry Id correspond to existing schedule entries in Basecamp.
    • "Bad Request": Ensure that the input parameters are numbers and properly set.
