Overview

The OnshapeMetadata node is designed to interact with Onshape metadata across multiple API versions (v1, v2, v3). It provides a unified interface to access and manipulate metadata from the Onshape platform, which is useful for users needing to integrate Onshape data into their workflows, such as retrieving document details, version information, or other metadata attributes.

Use Case Examples

1. A user can use this node to fetch metadata about a specific Onshape document to automate reporting or auditing processes.
2. It can be used to synchronize Onshape metadata with other systems like PLM or ERP by extracting relevant metadata fields.

Output

JSON

• metadata - The retrieved Onshape metadata object or data structure returned by the node's execution.

Dependencies

• Requires API authentication credentials for Onshape to access metadata endpoints.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include authentication failures due to invalid or expired API keys or tokens. Ensure credentials are correctly configured.
• API version mismatches might cause unexpected errors; verify the selected version matches the Onshape API version in use.
• Network connectivity issues can prevent access to Onshape services; check internet connection and firewall settings.
