Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

This node allows you to interact with the OpenProject API, specifically to fetch details about a custom action by its unique identifier. It is useful when you need to retrieve metadata or configuration of a particular custom action defined in your OpenProject instance. For example, you might use this node to programmatically obtain information about a workflow step or automation action configured in OpenProject to integrate it into other processes or display its details elsewhere.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The numeric identifier of the custom action you want to fetch. This is required and specifies which custom action's details will be retrieved.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the fetched custom action's details from OpenProject. This typically includes all properties and metadata associated with that custom action as returned by the OpenProject API. There is no binary output.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
  • Needs the base URL of the OpenProject instance configured in the node credentials.
  • Depends on the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package for handling OpenAPI-based requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing Id: If the provided Id does not correspond to any existing custom action, the API will likely return a 404 error. Ensure the Id is correct and exists in your OpenProject instance.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key or URL is incorrect or missing, authentication will fail. Verify that the API credentials are properly set up.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the OpenProject server can cause request failures. Check network access and firewall settings.
  • Unexpected response format: If the OpenProject API changes or returns unexpected data, the node may not parse the response correctly. Confirm API compatibility.
