Overview
This node interacts with the Financial Cents API to manage various resources related to financial projects and clients. Specifically, for the Project Role resource with the List operation, it retrieves a list of project roles defined in the system.
Use cases include:
- Fetching all available project roles to assign users or agents specific responsibilities within projects.
- Integrating project role data into workflows that automate project management or reporting.
- Synchronizing project role information with other systems or databases.
Example: A user wants to get all project roles to display them in a dashboard or to assign roles dynamically when creating or updating projects.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Debug: Include Raw Response | If enabled, each output item will include the full raw JSON response from the API under the __raw property. Useful for debugging or accessing additional data not explicitly mapped. |
Output
The node outputs an array of items, each representing a project role object retrieved from the Financial Cents API.
- Each item’s
jsonfield contains the project role's properties as returned by the API. - If the debug option is enabled, each item also includes a
__rawfield containing the complete raw API response for that item. - The structure of each project role object depends on the API but typically includes identifiers, names, descriptions, and permissions related to the role.
No binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Financial Cents API.
- The node uses HTTP requests to the Financial Cents API endpoint (default base URL:
https://app.financial-cents.com/api/v1). - No additional external dependencies are required beyond the configured API credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Empty results: Ensure that the API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access project roles.
- API errors: Network issues or invalid credentials can cause request failures. Verify the API key and network connectivity.
- Unexpected output: Enable the debug option to inspect the raw API response for troubleshooting.
- Rate limits: If many requests are made rapidly, the API might throttle requests; consider adding delays or handling rate limit responses gracefully.
