Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to list all types available within a specified project. It is useful when you want to retrieve and work with different types (such as task types, issue types, or custom types) defined in a particular OpenProject project. For example, you might use this node to dynamically populate dropdowns in workflows or to filter tasks by type.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The numeric ID of the project for which the types will be listed. This property is required.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the list of types available in the specified project. Each item in the output typically represents a type object with its associated details as returned by the OpenProject API. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes identifiers, names, and possibly descriptions of each type.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the OpenProject API.
  • The base URL of the OpenProject instance must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node uses the OpenProject REST API endpoint to fetch types related to a project.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Project ID: If the provided project ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error. Verify that the project ID is correct and accessible with your API credentials.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key or authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions to access project data.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and the OpenProject server can cause request failures. Check network settings and firewall rules.
  • API Changes: If the OpenProject API changes, the node may fail to retrieve types correctly. Keep the node and API documentation up to date.
