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
- Retrieve dataset details by providing the dataset slug to integrate with data processing workflows.
- 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.
