Overview
This node is designed to interact with a "Folder" resource, specifically to retrieve information about a single folder by its unique ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch metadata or details of a specific folder within a system that organizes data or files into folders. For example, you might use this node to get folder properties before performing operations like moving files, updating folder settings, or displaying folder information in an application.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | Unique identifier of the folder object to retrieve. This is a required string input where you provide the folder's ID. |
Output
The output will contain a JSON object representing the folder's details as retrieved from the system. This typically includes all metadata fields associated with the folder, such as its name, creation date, parent folder, and other relevant attributes depending on the backend implementation.
If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent any binary content related to the folder, but based on the static analysis, the output is primarily JSON data describing the folder.
Dependencies
- The node relies on external methods and routing logic imported from bundled dependencies (
./actions/routerand./methods). - It requires proper configuration of API credentials or authentication tokens to access the folder data from the external service.
- The node uses a version description imported from
./actions/versionDescription, which likely contains metadata about the API version or node version.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid ID: Since the folder ID is required, providing an empty or incorrect ID will likely cause errors or no data returned. Ensure the ID is valid and correctly formatted.
- Authentication errors: If the API key or authentication token is missing or invalid, the node will fail to retrieve folder data. Verify that credentials are properly set up.
- Network or API errors: Connectivity issues or API downtime can cause failures. Check network connectivity and API status.
- Unexpected response structure: If the external service changes its API response format, the node might not parse the folder data correctly.
Links and References
- No direct links available from the source code. For more information, consult the documentation of the external service managing folders or the n8n community forums for similar node usage examples.
