BasecampInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve information about uploads within a specified project and vault. Specifically, the "Get Uploads" operation fetches all or a limited number of upload records associated with a given project (referred to as a bucket) and vault.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Automating the retrieval of files uploaded to a particular project for further processing or backup.
• Integrating Basecamp file uploads into workflows that require analysis, reporting, or synchronization with other systems.
• Monitoring new uploads in projects to trigger notifications or downstream actions.

For example, a user might configure this node to get all uploads from a specific project vault to generate a report on recent file activity or to sync those files with a cloud storage service.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the uploads retrieved from the specified project vault. The structure typically includes an array of upload objects, each containing metadata such as upload ID, filename, size, creation date, and possibly URLs or references to the uploaded files.

If the "Return Full Response" property is enabled, the output will include the full HTTP response object, encompassing status code, headers, and the body with the uploads data.

The node does not output binary data directly; it only provides metadata and references related to the uploads.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Basecamp API using OAuth2 authentication with appropriate permissions to access project and vault data.
• The node expects the Basecamp account ID to be configured in credentials to construct the API base URL.
• No additional external dependencies are required beyond the Basecamp API and valid credentials.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Project or Vault ID: If the provided project or vault ID does not exist or the authenticated user lacks access, the API may return errors or empty results. Verify IDs and permissions.
• Authentication Errors: Ensure the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have not expired. Re-authenticate if necessary.
• Pagination Issues: When "Return All Results" is enabled, the node handles pagination automatically. However, network issues or API rate limits could interrupt fetching all pages.
• API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may lead to rate limiting by Basecamp. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
• Unexpected Response Structure: If the API changes, the node's parsing might fail. Check for updates to the node or API documentation.
