Overview
The node "Nextcloud Tables" allows users to manage Nextcloud Tables resources such as tables, views, columns, shares, imports, and rows. Specifically, the operation "Spalte Abrufen" (Get Column) under the resource "Spalte" (Column) retrieves information about a specific column in a Nextcloud Table.
This node is beneficial when you want to programmatically access metadata or details of a particular column within a table stored in Nextcloud Tables. For example, you might use it to fetch the configuration or properties of a column before performing further operations like updating or analyzing data.
Practical examples:
- Fetching a column's details by selecting it from a list or specifying its ID.
- Integrating with workflows that require dynamic retrieval of column metadata for validation or processing.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Spalte | Select a column either from a searchable list of available columns or enter the column ID manually. The ID must be a numeric string. |
The property supports two modes:
- Liste (List): Search and select from existing columns.
- ID: Enter the numeric ID of the column directly.
Output
The output of this operation is a JSON object containing the details of the requested column. This typically includes all relevant metadata about the column fetched from Nextcloud Tables, such as its ID, name, type, and other configuration attributes.
If the node supports binary data output elsewhere, it is not applicable here since this operation deals with metadata retrieval only.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Nextcloud Tables API.
- The node depends on Nextcloud Tables being accessible via the configured API endpoint.
- No additional external services are required beyond the Nextcloud Tables API.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Column ID: If the entered column ID is not numeric or does not exist, the node will throw an error. Ensure the ID is a valid number and corresponds to an existing column.
- Resource or Operation Mismatch: Selecting an unsupported resource or operation will cause an error indicating an unknown resource.
- API Authentication Errors: If the API key or credentials are invalid or missing, authentication errors will occur. Verify the API key configuration.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the Nextcloud instance can cause request failures. Check network access and API availability.
Common error messages:
"Unbekannte Ressource"(Unknown Resource): Occurs if the resource parameter is incorrect.- Validation error for column ID input if it does not match the regex for numbers.
