Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve detailed information about a specific project within a Basecamp account. It is useful when you need to fetch project metadata such as project name, description, status, and other related details for further processing or automation workflows. For example, you might use this node to pull project data to sync with another system, generate reports, or trigger actions based on project attributes.

Properties

Project Id The unique numeric identifier of the Basecamp project to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested Basecamp project. This typically includes fields like project ID, name, description, creation date, status, and other metadata provided by the Basecamp API. The output can be used downstream in workflows for analysis, reporting, or integration purposes.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials to access the Basecamp API.
  • The node depends on the Basecamp API service being available and accessible.
  • Proper configuration of the Base URL using the Basecamp account ID is necessary for requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Project Id: If the provided project ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error. Verify the project ID before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure that the OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions to access project data.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems or Basecamp API downtime may cause request failures. Check network connectivity and Basecamp service status.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may lead to rate limiting by Basecamp. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
