Overview

The node integrates with the Ride service API to retrieve event data. Specifically, for the Event resource and Get Events operation, it fetches a paginated list of events from the Ride platform. This is useful when you want to programmatically access multiple events, for example, to analyze upcoming or past cycling or riding events, aggregate event data for reporting, or trigger workflows based on event listings.

A practical example use case:

  • Automatically retrieving the latest events page by page to sync event data into your own database.
  • Triggering notifications or follow-up actions when new events appear in the Ride system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Page Number The page number for pagination. Allows fetching events page by page. Default is 1.

Output

The output JSON contains an array of event objects as returned by the Ride API endpoint /api/v1/events.json. Each item corresponds to one event's data in JSON format.

The structure is directly from the API response and typically includes event details such as event ID, name, date, location, and other metadata provided by the Ride service.

No binary data output is produced for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Ride service API.
  • The node uses HTTP requests authenticated via this API key to communicate with https://ridewithgps.com/api/v1/events.json.
  • No additional environment variables are required specifically for this operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Requesting a page number that does not exist may return an empty list or error depending on the API behavior.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unknown events operation: getEvents" ā€” indicates a misconfiguration where the operation parameter is incorrect or unsupported.
    • HTTP errors from the Ride API (e.g., 401 Unauthorized) usually mean the API key is invalid or expired.

  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
    • Validate the page number input; it should be a positive integer.
    • Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
