Overview
This node interacts with the "Card Tables" resource of an API, specifically to retrieve details of a single card within a specified bucket. It is useful when you need to fetch detailed information about a particular card in a project management or organizational tool that uses buckets and cards as its data structure.
Practical examples include:
- Retrieving the status or content of a specific task card in a project bucket.
- Fetching metadata or comments associated with a card for reporting or automation purposes.
- Integrating card details into other workflows or dashboards by pulling card data dynamically.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The unique identifier of the bucket containing the card. This is a required numeric value. |
| Card Id | The unique identifier of the card to retrieve within the specified bucket. This is a required numeric value. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested card. This typically includes all available fields related to the card such as title, description, status, assigned users, due dates, and any other metadata provided by the API.
If the API supports binary data related to the card (e.g., attachments), the node would handle this accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the primary output is structured JSON data describing the card.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service hosting the Card Tables resource.
- The node depends on the Basecamp API or a similar service endpoint configured via environment variables or credentials within n8n.
- Proper configuration of the API base URL and authentication headers is necessary for successful requests.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Bucket Id/Card Id: Ensure both IDs are provided and valid numbers; otherwise, the API will return errors or no data.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or OAuth token is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions to access the card data.
- Network issues or incorrect base URL: Confirm that the API endpoint is reachable and correctly configured in the node settings.
- API rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the API might throttle or block requests temporarily.
Common error messages might include:
- "Not Found" if the bucket or card ID does not exist.
- "Unauthorized" if authentication fails.
- "Bad Request" if parameters are missing or malformed.
Resolving these usually involves checking input values, credentials, and network connectivity.
