Overview
This node interacts with the Flowyteam API to manage project categories. Specifically, the "Get" operation for the "Project Category" resource retrieves details of a specific project category by its ID. This is useful when you want to fetch information about a particular project category within your project management workflows, such as retrieving metadata or configuration related to that category.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching a project category's details to display in a dashboard.
- Using the category information to filter or organize projects.
- Integrating project category data into reports or notifications.

| Category ID | The ID of the project category to retrieve |
Output
The output contains a JSON object representing the project category details fetched from the Flowyteam API. This typically includes fields such as the category's unique identifier, name, description, and any other metadata associated with the project category.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Flowyteam API.
- The node depends on the Flowyteam API being accessible and properly configured.
- No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Category ID: The node requires a valid project category ID; providing an incorrect or empty ID will cause errors.
- Authentication failures: Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or API downtime: Connectivity issues or Flowyteam API outages can cause request failures.
Error messages:
- Errors indicating "resource not found" or similar usually mean the provided Category ID does not exist.
- Authentication errors suggest invalid or expired API credentials.
- Timeout or network errors indicate connectivity problems.
To resolve these:
- Verify the Category ID is correct and exists in Flowyteam.
- Check and update API credentials if necessary.
- Confirm network connectivity and Flowyteam service status.
