Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to retrieve information about a specific "Type" entity by its ID. It is useful when you want to fetch detailed data about a particular type within an OpenProject instance, such as issue types or work package types. For example, you might use this node to get metadata about a task type before creating or updating tasks of that type in your workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the Type you want to view. This is a required numeric value specifying which Type's details to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested Type from OpenProject. This typically includes all properties and metadata associated with that Type 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 credentials.
  • Depends on the OpenProject REST API being accessible and available.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid or missing Id: If the provided Id does not exist or is invalid, the API will return an error. Ensure the Id corresponds to an existing Type.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key or URL is incorrect or missing, authentication will fail. Verify credentials are correctly set up.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the OpenProject server will cause request failures. Check network access and server status.
  • API changes: If the OpenProject API changes, the node may fail to parse responses correctly. Keep the node and API version compatible.
