Interact with the Basecamp API

Actions80

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve details about a specific schedule within a given bucket. It is useful when you want to programmatically access schedule information such as events, deadlines, or reminders stored in Basecamp projects. For example, you might use this node to fetch a particular schedule's data to display it in a dashboard, trigger workflows based on schedule dates, or synchronize schedules with other calendar systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id The unique numeric identifier of the bucket (project area) that contains the schedule.
Schedule Id The unique numeric identifier of the schedule to retrieve within the specified bucket.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the detailed information of the requested schedule. This typically includes fields such as schedule name, description, start and end times, and any associated metadata defined by the Basecamp API. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials for Basecamp.
  • Needs the Basecamp account ID to construct the API base URL dynamically.
  • Depends on the Basecamp API being accessible and the provided bucket and schedule IDs being valid.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Credentials: If the API key or OAuth token is missing or expired, the node will fail to authenticate. Ensure the credentials are correctly set up and refreshed if necessary.
  • Not Found Errors: Providing incorrect bucket or schedule IDs will result in errors indicating the resource was not found. Double-check these IDs before running the node.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may lead to rate limiting by Basecamp. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failures. Verify network access to the Basecamp API endpoint.
