Overview
This node interacts with the Basalt API to retrieve information about a specific dataset identified by its slug. It is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch detailed data about a dataset for further processing or analysis within an n8n workflow. For example, you might use this node to get dataset metadata before performing data transformations or reporting.
Use Case Examples
- Retrieve dataset details by providing the dataset slug to integrate with data processing workflows.
- Fetch dataset information to validate dataset existence or properties before triggering downstream automation.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Slug | The unique identifier (slug) of the dataset to retrieve. |
| Request Options | Additional options to customize the HTTP request such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout duration. |
Output
JSON
dataset- The JSON object containing the retrieved dataset details from the Basalt API.
Dependencies
- Basalt API with an API key credential for authentication
Troubleshooting
- Ensure the provided slug is correct and corresponds to an existing dataset; otherwise, the API may return a not found error.
- If SSL certificate validation fails and the request is blocked, enable the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option to bypass this check (not recommended for production).
- Check proxy settings if requests fail due to network restrictions.
- Adjust the timeout setting if the API response is slow to avoid premature request abortion.
