Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to retrieve detailed information about a specific action capability identified by its unique action ID. It is useful when you need to programmatically access metadata or configuration details of particular actions within OpenProject, such as "work_packages/create". Typical use cases include automation workflows that adapt based on available actions or auditing and reporting on system capabilities.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the action to view. This corresponds to the name of the action, for example, "work_packages/create". It is required to specify which action's details should be retrieved.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the detailed information of the specified action capability. This typically includes all relevant metadata and configuration details returned by the OpenProject API for that action. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
  • The node depends on the OpenProject API being accessible at the URL provided in the credentials.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the OpenProject API and the n8n environment are needed.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing action ID will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Incorrect API credentials or URL will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors indicate invalid or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • "Not Found" errors suggest the specified action ID does not exist; double-check the ID value.
    • Timeout or connection errors require checking network settings and API availability.
