Overview

The node "Nextcloud Tables" allows users to manage Nextcloud Tables, including tables themselves, rows, columns, views, shares, and CSV imports. It is designed to interact with the Nextcloud Tables API to perform various operations such as retrieving, updating, deleting, or importing data.

For the specific Resource "Tabelle" (Table) and Operation "Tabelle Abrufen" (Get Table), the node fetches information about a selected table from Nextcloud Tables. This operation is useful when you want to retrieve metadata or content of a particular table by specifying its ID or selecting it from a list.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically fetching a table's structure or data for further processing in an automation workflow.
  • Integrating Nextcloud Tables data into other systems by retrieving table contents dynamically.
  • Using the node to monitor changes or updates in specific tables by periodically fetching their data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Tabelle Select a table from a searchable list or specify its numeric ID directly. Required property.
  • The "Tabelle" property supports two modes:
    • List: Choose from a searchable list of available tables.
    • ID: Enter the table's numeric ID manually (must be a number).

Output

The output of the node is a JSON object representing the retrieved table data. The exact structure depends on the Nextcloud Tables API response but typically includes:

  • Table metadata such as table ID, name, description.
  • Possibly the table's rows and columns depending on the operation specifics.
  • Any additional details provided by the API about the table.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated explicitly here), it would represent file attachments or exports related to the table, but this operation primarily returns JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Nextcloud Tables API.
  • The node expects the Nextcloud Tables API endpoint to be accessible and properly configured.
  • No additional external services are required beyond the Nextcloud instance hosting the Tables.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Table ID: If the entered table ID is not numeric or does not exist, the node will throw an error. Ensure the ID is correct and corresponds to an existing table.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key or token is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Nextcloud server will result in request timeouts or errors. Check network access and server availability.
  • Unknown Resource or Operation: If the resource or operation parameters are incorrect or unsupported, the node throws an error indicating unknown resource or operation.
  • Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will return error messages in the output JSON instead of stopping execution, which can help in debugging workflows.
