Overview
This node interacts with the Lectful API to manage educational content and user activities within the Lectful platform. Specifically, for the Assignment resource with the Get Course Assignments operation, it retrieves all assignments associated with a specified course.
This operation is useful in scenarios where you want to automate workflows involving course management, such as fetching all assignments for a course to display them in an external system, analyze assignment data, or trigger further processing based on assignment details.
Practical example:
- Automatically retrieve all assignments for a course when a new course is created or updated, then send notifications to students or update a learning management dashboard.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Authentication Mode | Choose how to authenticate with the Lectful API: - Use Stored Credentials (configured in n8n) - Manual Configuration (provide base URL and API key manually) |
| Credentials Note | Notice shown only when using Manual Configuration mode, explaining that credentials can be left empty if overrides are provided. |
| Base URL Override | Optional base URL to override the credential setting (without /api/v1). Used only in Manual Configuration mode. |
| API Key Override | Optional API key to override the credential setting. Used only in Manual Configuration mode. |
| Course ID | The ID of the course for which to get all assignments. This is a required field. |
Output
The output contains a JSON object representing the response from the Lectful API endpoint /courses/{courseId}/assignments. This typically includes an array of assignment objects related to the specified course, each containing details such as assignment ID, title, description, due dates, and other metadata defined by the Lectful API.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the Lectful API.
- Authentication is mandatory, either via stored credentials configured in n8n or manual entry of the base URL and API key.
- The node expects the Lectful API to be reachable at the specified base URL with valid API keys.
- No additional external dependencies beyond standard HTTP requests.
Troubleshooting
Missing or invalid credentials:
If neither stored credentials nor manual configuration with valid base URL and API key are provided, the node will throw an error indicating missing or invalid credentials. Ensure credentials are properly set up or manual parameters are correctly filled.Base URL Override required in Manual mode:
When using Manual Configuration mode, the Base URL Override must be provided; otherwise, an error will occur.API Key Override required in Manual mode:
Similarly, the API Key Override must be provided in Manual mode.Invalid Course ID:
Providing an incorrect or non-existent course ID may result in API errors or empty results. Verify the course ID before execution.Network or API errors:
Network issues or API downtime will cause request failures. Check network connectivity and Lectful API status.
