Overview
This node integrates with the BookStack API, allowing users to manage BookStack resources such as books, pages, chapters, shelves, users, roles, attachments, and tags. Specifically, the "Get" operation for the "Book" resource retrieves detailed information about a single book by its ID.
Common scenarios include:
- Fetching metadata or content of a specific book stored in BookStack.
- Automating workflows that require book details for documentation, reporting, or synchronization with other systems.
- Integrating BookStack content retrieval into larger automation pipelines.
Example use case:
- Automatically retrieve a book's details by its ID to display or process its information in another system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the book to retrieve. This is required for the "Get" operation. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved book resource from BookStack. The structure corresponds to the BookStack API response for a single book, typically including fields such as the book's ID, name, description, creation date, update date, and other metadata.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the BookStack API.
- The base URL of the BookStack instance must be configured in the credentials.
- The node sends HTTP requests to the BookStack API endpoints using the provided token-based authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid ID: The "ID" property is required. If omitted or incorrect, the API will return an error indicating the resource was not found.
- Authentication errors: Ensure the API token and base URL are correctly set in the credentials; otherwise, authorization failures will occur.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems to the BookStack server will cause request failures.
- API changes: If the BookStack API changes, some fields or endpoints might behave differently, requiring updates to the node or workflow.
