MsgCore

Universal messaging gateway - send messages across multiple platforms

Overview

The "Get Project" operation in this node allows you to retrieve detailed information about a specific project by its identifier. This is useful when you want to fetch metadata, settings, or other details related to a particular project within your messaging gateway platform.

Common scenarios include:

  • Fetching project details before performing updates or deletions.
  • Displaying project information in dashboards or reports.
  • Validating the existence and configuration of a project before sending messages or managing resources linked to it.

For example, you might use this operation to get the current configuration of a project named "default" to verify its environment or description before proceeding with further automation steps.

Output

The output JSON contains the details of the requested project. This typically includes fields such as the project's name, description, environment, and any other metadata associated with the project. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally provides comprehensive information about the project entity.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication to the messaging gateway's API.
  • The node must be configured with the base URL of the API service.
  • Network access to the API endpoint /api/v1/projects/{project} is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Project Identifier: If the specified project ID does not exist, the API will likely return a 404 error. Verify that the project identifier is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key credential is properly set up.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the API server can cause timeouts or connection errors. Check network settings and API availability.
  • Permission Denied: Insufficient permissions for the API key may result in authorization errors. Confirm that the API key has rights to read project details.

Links and References

  • Refer to the messaging gateway API documentation for the /projects/{project} GET endpoint for detailed response schema and additional parameters.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API key credentials and HTTP request nodes for custom integrations.
