BasecampInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Basecamp API to retrieve details of a specific Todo Set within a project bucket. It is useful when you want to fetch information about a particular Todo Set by specifying its associated Bucket ID and Todoset ID. Practical applications include automating project management workflows, syncing Todo Sets data with other tools, or extracting task lists for reporting purposes.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the requested Todo Set's details as returned by the Basecamp API. This typically includes metadata such as the Todo Set's name, description, status, and associated tasks. 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 user having appropriate permissions to access the specified Bucket and Todo Set.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Bucket Id or Todoset Id will cause the request to fail.
  • Authentication errors if the OAuth2 token is expired or invalid.
  • Permission denied errors if the authenticated user lacks access to the specified resources.
  • Network connectivity problems affecting API calls.

• Error messages and resolutions:

  • "Unauthorized" — Check and refresh the OAuth2 credentials.
  • "Not Found" — Verify that the Bucket Id and Todoset Id are correct and exist in the Basecamp account.
  • "Forbidden" — Ensure the authenticated user has sufficient permissions.
  • Timeout or network errors — Confirm internet connectivity and Basecamp API availability.
