Overview
This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve a specific document from a given project bucket. It is useful when you want to programmatically access the contents or metadata of a particular document stored within Basecamp's project management environment. Typical use cases include automating document retrieval for reporting, syncing documents with other systems, or processing document data in workflows.
For example, you might use this node to fetch a project specification document by its ID from a designated bucket and then analyze or distribute its content automatically.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | The numeric identifier of the project bucket where the document is stored. This specifies the container or folder within Basecamp. |
| Document Id | The numeric identifier of the document to retrieve from the specified bucket. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved document. This typically includes the document's metadata (such as title, creation date, author) and its content or URL. The exact structure depends on the Basecamp API response but generally provides all relevant information about the requested document.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Basecamp API.
- The node uses the Basecamp API endpoint constructed dynamically using the user's Basecamp account ID.
- Proper configuration of the Basecamp OAuth2 credentials in n8n is necessary for successful API calls.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Document Id will cause the API call to fail.
- Authentication errors if the API key or OAuth token is not configured correctly.
- Network or permission issues if the Basecamp account does not have access to the specified bucket or document.
Error messages:
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API credentials are valid and properly set up.
- "Not Found" or "Document does not exist": Verify that the Bucket Id and Document Id are correct and that the document exists.
- "Forbidden": Ensure the authenticated user has permission to access the specified bucket and document.
Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters and ensuring proper credential setup.
