Overview
This node interacts with the Hypris API to perform various operations on different resources such as Workspaces, Databases, Items, Views, Properties, and Resource Items. Specifically for the View resource with the Get Many operation, it retrieves multiple views associated with a specified database within a workspace.
Typical use cases include:
- Fetching all views available in a particular database to display or process them further.
- Automating workflows that require synchronization or analysis of view configurations from Hypris.
- Integrating Hypris views data into other systems or dashboards.
For example, you might use this node to get all views of a project management database to dynamically generate reports or update UI elements based on current views.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Workspace Name or ID | The workspace containing the database. Choose from a list or specify an ID via expression. |
| Database Name or ID | The database whose views you want to retrieve. Choose from a list filtered by the selected workspace or specify an ID via expression. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the views retrieved from the specified database. Each object typically contains properties such as:
id: Unique identifier of the view.name: Name of the view.type: Type of the view (e.g., calendar, kanban, map, table, timeline).- Other metadata related to the view configuration.
The output is structured as an array where each element corresponds to one view. This allows easy iteration or filtering in subsequent workflow steps.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires valid credentials for the Hypris API, including base URL, username, and password.
- The node depends on the Hypris API endpoints to fetch workspaces, databases, and views.
- Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.
- Network access to the Hypris API endpoint must be available.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing workspace or database IDs can cause empty results or errors.
- Authentication failures due to incorrect API credentials.
- Network connectivity problems preventing API requests.
- API rate limits or server errors from Hypris.
Error messages:
- Errors during loading options (workspaces, databases, views) will log details in the console.
- If the API request fails, the node throws an error with the message returned by the API or a generic failure notice.
- To resolve, verify credentials, ensure correct workspace/database IDs, and check network connectivity.
Tips:
- Use expressions carefully to provide dynamic IDs.
- Confirm that the workspace contains the specified database and that the database has views.
- Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings if partial failure handling is desired.
