Basecamp

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve detailed information about a specific template within a Basecamp account. It is useful when you want to programmatically access and use templates stored in Basecamp, for example, to automate project setup or to analyze template contents.

A practical example would be fetching a project template by its ID to clone or inspect it before creating new projects based on that template.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested template as returned by the Basecamp API. This typically includes all metadata and configuration associated with the template.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials for Basecamp.
• The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed dynamically using the Basecamp account ID from credentials.
• No additional external dependencies are needed beyond the Basecamp API access.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Template Id will cause the API request to fail.
  • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or expired credentials; re-authenticate or update credentials.
  • "Template not found" errors suggest the provided Template Id does not exist or is inaccessible.
  • Rate limiting errors may occur if too many requests are made in a short time; wait and retry later.
