Overview

This node allows you to retrieve details of a specific "View" resource from the OpenProject system by its unique identifier. It is useful when you want to fetch and work with the configuration or metadata of a particular view within OpenProject, such as for reporting, automation, or integration purposes.

A practical example would be automating the retrieval of a saved project view's settings to display or modify them in another system or workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the View to retrieve

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the detailed information of the requested View. This typically includes all properties and metadata associated with that View in OpenProject.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate 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 issue: Providing an invalid or non-existent View ID will likely result in an error response from the API indicating the resource was not found.
  • Error message: "View not found" or HTTP 404 errors suggest the specified Id does not exist; verify the Id value.
  • Authentication errors: If authentication fails, check that the API key and base URL are correctly set in the node credentials.
  • Network issues: Ensure the OpenProject server is reachable from the n8n environment.
