Overview
This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve event data related to a specific project bucket and recording. It is designed to fetch events associated with a given "Bucket Id" and "Recording Id". This functionality is useful for workflows that need to monitor or process event logs, activity streams, or changes within a particular project context in Basecamp.
Practical examples include:
- Automating notifications or alerts based on new events in a project bucket.
- Aggregating event data for reporting or analytics.
- Triggering downstream processes when certain events occur in a recording.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bucket Id | ID of the project bucket (number) |
| Recording Id | ID of the recording (number) |
Both properties are required inputs to specify the exact scope of events to retrieve.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the events fetched from the Basecamp API for the specified bucket and recording. The structure typically includes event details such as timestamps, event types, user information, and any relevant metadata associated with each event.
If the API supports binary data for events (e.g., attachments), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the provided code and properties, the output focuses on JSON event data.
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.
- No additional external dependencies beyond the Basecamp API and its authentication are indicated.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Recording Id will result in errors or empty responses.
- Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API credentials.
- Network connectivity issues preventing access to the Basecamp API.
Error messages:
- Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate problems with the API key or OAuth token; re-authenticate or update credentials.
- 404 errors may mean the specified bucket or recording does not exist or is inaccessible.
- Rate limiting errors require waiting before retrying requests.
Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, checking API credentials, and ensuring network access.
