Interact with Hudu REST API

Actions100

Overview

This node interacts with the Magic Dash resource of the Hudu REST API, specifically supporting the "Get" operation to retrieve a Magic Dash item by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch detailed information about a specific Magic Dash entry within your Hudu environment, such as for documentation, automation workflows, or integration with other systems.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Retrieve a Magic Dash item’s details to display or process them in another system.
  • Automate reporting or auditing tasks by fetching Magic Dash data programmatically.
  • Integrate Magic Dash data into custom dashboards or notifications.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID The unique numeric identifier of the Magic Dash item to retrieve. This property is required and specifies which Magic Dash entry the node will fetch.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the Magic Dash item retrieved from the API. Each output item corresponds to one Magic Dash record, containing all relevant fields returned by the Hudu API for that item.

  • The json output field includes the full details of the Magic Dash item identified by the provided ID.
  • If multiple input items are processed, each output item is paired with its corresponding input index.
  • The node does not output binary data.

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.
  • No additional external services are required beyond the Hudu API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Magic Dash ID will likely result in an error or empty response.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • "The resource "magic_dash" is not known!" — This indicates the resource parameter was not correctly set to "magic_dash".
    • API errors related to authorization or invalid IDs will be passed through; ensure the ID exists and credentials are valid.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the Magic Dash ID is correct and exists in your Hudu instance.
    • Confirm API credentials are properly configured and have necessary permissions.
    • Check network access to the Hudu API endpoint.
