Overview

The "Get Trips" operation of the Ride node allows users to retrieve a paginated list of trips from the Ride service API. This operation is useful for scenarios where you want to fetch multiple trip records, such as displaying recent trips, analyzing trip data in bulk, or integrating trip information into other workflows.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically fetching the latest trips for a user on a scheduled basis.
  • Aggregating trip data for reporting or visualization.
  • Feeding trip lists into downstream processes like notifications or data enrichment.

Properties

Name Meaning
Page Number The page number for pagination when retrieving the list of trips. Defaults to 1.

Output

The output JSON structure for the "Get Trips" operation is an array of trip objects returned by the Ride API. Each item corresponds to a trip with its associated metadata and details as provided by the API.

The output does not include binary data for this operation; it returns purely JSON data representing the trips.

Example output snippet (conceptual):

[
  {
    "id": "trip_id_1",
    "name": "Morning Ride",
    "distance": 25.4,
    "duration": 3600,
    ...
  },
  {
    "id": "trip_id_2",
    "name": "Evening Ride",
    "distance": 30.1,
    "duration": 4000,
    ...
  }
]

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Ride service API.
  • The node uses HTTP requests authenticated via this credential to communicate with the Ride API endpoint at https://ridewithgps.com/api/v1/trips.json.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Pagination errors if the page number is set beyond available pages may result in empty responses.
    • Authentication failures if the API key credential is missing or invalid.
  • Error messages:
    • "Unknown trips operation: getTrips": Indicates an internal misconfiguration or unsupported operation name; should not occur under normal usage.
    • HTTP errors from the API (e.g., 401 Unauthorized) typically mean the API key is incorrect or expired.
  • Resolutions:
    • Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
    • Ensure the page number is within valid range based on total trips available.
