Redmine

Consume Redmine API

Overview

This node integrates with the Redmine API, a project management web application. It allows users to perform various operations on Redmine resources such as Issues, Projects, and Users. Specifically, for the Project - Get operation, the node retrieves detailed information about a single project identified by its Project ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Fetching project details to display or use in workflows.
  • Automating project status checks or reporting.
  • Integrating Redmine project data into other systems or dashboards.

Example: You want to retrieve the details of a specific project by its ID to update a dashboard or trigger further automation based on project attributes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project ID The ID of the project to get. This is a required string input specifying which project’s details to retrieve from Redmine.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the project details fetched from Redmine. The structure typically includes fields such as project name, identifier, description, status, creation date, and other metadata provided by the Redmine API for that project.

If the node encounters an error (e.g., invalid Project ID), it outputs a JSON object containing an error field with the error message.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to a Redmine instance URL.
  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Redmine API.
  • The node expects these credentials to be configured in n8n prior to execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Project ID: If the provided Project ID does not exist or is incorrect, the node will return an error message indicating the project was not found. Verify the Project ID is correct.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key or URL is misconfigured, authentication will fail. Ensure the API key is valid and the Redmine URL is reachable.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the Redmine server will cause request failures. Check network access and firewall settings.
  • Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON.
