Basalt

Interact with Basalt API to manage prompts, monitoring, and datasets

Actions9

Overview

This node interacts with the Basalt API to retrieve information about a specific dataset identified by its slug. It is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch detailed data about a dataset for further processing or analysis within an n8n workflow. For example, you might use this node to get dataset metadata before performing data transformations or reporting.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve dataset details by providing the dataset slug to integrate with data processing workflows.
  2. Fetch dataset information to validate or enrich data before further automation steps.

Properties

Name Meaning
Slug The unique identifier (slug) of the dataset to retrieve.
Request Options Additional options to customize the API request, including batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout duration.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the dataset.
  • name - The name of the dataset.
  • slug - The slug identifier of the dataset.
  • description - A description of the dataset.
  • createdAt - Timestamp when the dataset was created.
  • updatedAt - Timestamp when the dataset was last updated.
  • items - The data items or records contained within the dataset.

Dependencies

  • Basalt API with API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the provided slug is correct and corresponds to an existing dataset; otherwise, the API may return a not found error.
  • If SSL certificate validation fails and the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option is not enabled, the request will be blocked; enable this option only if you trust the source.
  • Proxy settings must be correctly configured if used; incorrect proxy details can cause request failures.
  • Timeouts can occur if the server is slow to respond; adjust the timeout setting as needed.
