Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to retrieve detailed information about a specific time entry. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and process time tracking data for projects, such as generating reports, auditing work logs, or integrating time entries into other workflows.

For example, you might use this node to get the details of a particular time entry by its ID to verify hours logged by a team member or to synchronize time tracking data with an external system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the time entry to retrieve. This is a required numeric value specifying which time entry's details to fetch.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the requested time entry. This typically includes fields such as the time entry's ID, associated project, user, date, duration, comments, and any other metadata provided by the OpenProject API for that time entry.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
  • The base URL for the OpenProject instance must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node depends on the OpenProject REST API being accessible and responsive.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an invalid or non-existent time entry ID will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the OpenProject API.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate incorrect or expired API tokens; verify and update credentials.
    • "Not Found" errors suggest the specified time entry ID does not exist; double-check the ID.
    • Timeout or connection errors imply network issues; ensure the OpenProject server is reachable.
