Interact with the Octave V2 API

Actions26

Overview

This node interacts with the Octave V2 API to retrieve information about a specific Use Case by its unique identifier (OID). It is useful when you want to fetch detailed data about a particular use case within the Octave platform, such as for analysis, reporting, or integration into workflows that depend on use case details.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving metadata and configuration of a use case before executing related automation.
  • Fetching use case details to display in dashboards or reports.
  • Integrating use case information into other systems for decision-making or auditing.

Name Meaning
Use Case OID The unique identifier (OID) of the use case to retrieve

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved use case. This JSON typically contains all relevant fields describing the use case, such as its name, description, configuration, status, and any other metadata provided by the Octave API.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Octave V2 API.
  • The node depends on the Octave API being accessible and the provided OID being valid.
  • No additional external services are explicitly required beyond the Octave API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Use Case OID: The node will fail if the OID is not provided or incorrect.
    • Authentication errors: If the API key credential is invalid or expired, the request will be rejected.
    • Network or API downtime: Connectivity issues or Octave API outages can cause failures.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors from the API are caught and returned in the output under an error field, possibly including apiResponse with the raw response body.
    • Parsing errors of the API response body are also handled gracefully and reported.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the Use Case OID is correct and exists in the Octave system.
    • Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and Octave API status.
