Overview
This node interacts with the Hudu REST API to perform various operations on different resources. Specifically, for the Folder resource with the Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific folder identified by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch metadata or contents of a particular folder within Hudu, such as organizing documentation, assets, or other grouped items.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching folder details to display in a dashboard.
- Using folder data to automate document management workflows.
- Integrating folder information into reporting or auditing processes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Folder ID | The ID number of the folder to retrieve |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the folder's details as returned by the Hudu API. Each output item corresponds to one folder and includes all relevant folder properties such as name, description, creation date, and any other metadata provided by the API.
If the node supports binary data (not indicated here), it would typically represent file contents or attachments related to the folder, but this operation focuses on JSON metadata only.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Hudu REST API.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- The base URL for the Hudu API must be set in the node credentials.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Folder ID: Ensure the Folder ID is correct and exists in Hudu.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or connectivity problems: Check internet access and API endpoint availability.
Error messages:
"The resource "folders" is not known!"— indicates an invalid resource parameter; ensure "folders" is selected.- API errors returned from Hudu will be passed through; check the error message for details like "Folder not found" or permission denied.
To resolve errors, verify input parameters, credentials, and network settings. Use the node’s debug logs if enabled to trace request and response details.
