Overview

This node operation "Lists Collections for Containing a Given Document" retrieves all collections that include a specified document. It is useful when you want to find out which collections a particular document belongs to within your document management or knowledge base system.

Common scenarios:

  • Identifying all groupings or categories where a specific document is used.
  • Managing document organization by understanding its collection memberships.
  • Auditing or reporting on document distribution across collections.

Practical example:
If you have a document ID of a research paper, this operation can list all collections (e.g., projects, topics, or departments) that contain this paper, helping you track its usage and relevance.

Properties

Name Meaning
Document ID The unique identifier of the document for which to list containing collections.
Additional Options Optional parameters to control pagination:
- Offset: Number of collections to skip before returning results.
- Limit: Maximum number of collections to return (minimum 1, default 50).

Output

The output JSON contains an array of collections that include the specified document. Each collection object typically includes metadata such as collection ID, name, description, creation date, update date, and other relevant attributes describing the collection.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
  • The node sends a GET request to the endpoint /documents/{document_id}/collections with optional query parameters for offset and limit.
  • The base URL and headers are configured via credentials and environment settings in n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Document ID: If the provided document ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return an error or empty result. Verify the document ID is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has permissions to access document and collection data.
  • Pagination Issues: If too many collections exist, use the offset and limit options to paginate through results.
  • Timeouts or Network Errors: Check network connectivity and API server status if requests fail or time out.

Links and References

  • Refer to the API documentation of the document management system for details on the /documents/{document_id}/collections endpoint.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API key credentials and handle pagination in nodes.
