OpenProjectInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to retrieve information about a specific status by its ID. It is useful when you want to fetch details of a particular status entity within an OpenProject instance, such as its name, description, or other metadata associated with that status.

Practical examples include:

• Automating project workflows by dynamically fetching status details.
• Integrating status information into reports or dashboards.
• Validating or displaying status data in custom applications connected via n8n.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the status object retrieved from OpenProject. This typically includes fields such as the status's ID, name, and any other attributes defined by the OpenProject API for a status resource.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
• Needs the base URL of the OpenProject instance configured in the credentials.
• Depends on the OpenProject REST API being accessible and responsive.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:
  • Invalid or missing status ID will cause the API call to fail.
  • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the OpenProject server.
• Error messages:
  • "404 Not Found" if the specified status ID does not exist.
  • "401 Unauthorized" if API credentials are invalid.
  • Timeout or connection errors if the OpenProject server is unreachable.
• Resolutions:
  • Verify the status ID exists in your OpenProject instance.
  • Check and update API credentials.
  • Ensure network access to the OpenProject server.
