Overview

The node interacts with the Ride service API to retrieve detailed information about cycling or outdoor events. Specifically, the "Get Event" operation fetches data for a single event identified by its unique ID. This is useful for workflows that need to integrate event details from the Ride platform, such as displaying event info in dashboards, triggering notifications based on event data, or aggregating event statistics.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically retrieving and processing event details when an event ID is provided.
  • Integrating event data into reporting tools or CRM systems.
  • Using event metadata to trigger downstream automation, e.g., sending reminders or updates related to the event.

Event ID The unique identifier of the event to retrieve

Output

The output JSON contains the full details of the requested event as returned by the Ride API. The structure corresponds directly to the event resource representation from the API, including all available fields describing the event (such as name, date, location, participants, etc.).

No binary data is produced by this operation.

Example output JSON snippet (simplified):

{
  "id": "12345",
  "name": "City Cycling Challenge",
  "date": "2024-07-15T08:00:00Z",
  "location": "Central Park",
  "description": "Annual city-wide cycling event",
  ...
}

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Ride service API.
  • The node uses HTTP requests authenticated via this credential to access the /api/v1/events/{eventId}.json endpoint.
  • No additional external services or environment variables are required for this operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Error: Unknown events operation
    Occurs if an unsupported operation name is used. Ensure the operation is set to "Get Event" for this use case.

  • Error: Missing or invalid Event ID
    The Event ID property is required. Verify that a valid event ID string is provided.

  • API Authentication Errors
    If authentication fails, check that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.

  • Network or API errors
    Could be due to connectivity issues or API downtime. Retry or verify API status.
