LearningSuite

Interact with LearningSuite API (powered by agentur-systeme.de)

Overview

The node provides a generic API call capability to the LearningSuite platform, allowing users to make HTTP requests to any endpoint of the LearningSuite API. This flexibility enables integration with various parts of the LearningSuite system that may not have dedicated nodes or operations yet.

Common scenarios include:

  • Fetching data from custom or less common endpoints.
  • Creating, updating, or deleting resources by specifying the appropriate HTTP method and endpoint.
  • Sending complex queries or payloads to the API dynamically.

For example, a user can perform a GET request to /members/123/courses to retrieve courses for a specific member, or send a POST request with a JSON body to create a new resource.

Properties

Name Meaning
HTTP Method The HTTP method to use for the API call. Options: DELETE, GET, PATCH, POST, PUT
Endpoint The API endpoint path (relative to the base URL) where the request will be sent
Request Body JSON-formatted body content for POST, PUT, or PATCH requests
Query Parameters Key-value pairs representing query parameters appended to the URL

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the response(s) from the API call. Each item corresponds to one response object returned by the API.

If the API returns binary data, it would typically be handled separately, but this node focuses on JSON responses as indicated by the default headers (Accept: application/json).

Dependencies

  • Requires a configured API authentication credential providing the base URL and access token for the LearningSuite API.
  • The node uses standard HTTP methods and JSON content types.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the LearningSuite API and its credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • No handler error: If the node throws No handler for resource "apiCall" and operation "makeRequest", it indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation. Ensure the resource is set to "API Call" and operation to "Make Request".
  • Invalid JSON in Request Body: When using POST, PUT, or PATCH, ensure the JSON body is valid; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
  • Incorrect Endpoint: The endpoint must be relative to the base URL without including the base URL itself. Including the full URL may cause errors.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or token credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Query Parameter formatting: Query parameters must be provided as name-value pairs; missing names or values may lead to malformed URLs.
