OpenProjectInstall

Overview

This node allows you to view details of a user in the OpenProject system by retrieving user information via its API. It is useful when you want to fetch specific user data, such as profile details or account information, either for the current authenticated user or any other user by their ID.

Practical examples include:

• Displaying user profile information in a workflow.
• Fetching user details to personalize notifications or reports.
• Validating user existence before performing further operations.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the user object retrieved from the OpenProject API. This typically includes fields such as user ID, name, email, status, and other profile-related information depending on the API response schema.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

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 depends on the OpenProject REST API being accessible and the provided user ID being valid.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid User ID: If the specified user ID does not exist, the API will likely return a 404 error. Verify the user ID or use me to get the current user.
• Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions to read user data.
• Network Issues: Confirm that the OpenProject server URL is reachable from the n8n environment.
• Malformed Responses: If the API changes or returns unexpected data, the node might fail to parse the user information properly.
