Apaleo

Interact with Apaleo API

Overview

This node integrates with the Apaleo API to perform operations related to hotel management resources. Specifically, for the Block resource and the GET block operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific block identified by its ID. Blocks in hotel management typically represent reserved room blocks or allocations that can be managed separately from individual bookings.

Common scenarios where this node is useful include:

  • Fetching details of a reserved block of rooms to check availability or status.
  • Integrating block data into workflows for reporting or further processing.
  • Automating updates or validations based on block information.

For example, a user might use this node to get the details of a block before creating bookings against it or to verify block status before releasing rooms.

Properties

Name Meaning
Block ID The unique identifier of the block to retrieve. This is required to specify which block's details to fetch.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the block's details as returned by the Apaleo API. This typically includes fields such as block identifiers, associated dates, room types, quantities, statuses, and other metadata relevant to the block.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would summarize any binary content related to the block, but in this case, the output is purely JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Apaleo API.
  • Needs an API authentication token (access token) configured in the node credentials to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.apaleo.com.
  • No additional external services are required beyond the Apaleo API.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Block ID: The operation requires a valid block ID. Ensure the Block ID property is set and correctly formatted.
  • Authentication errors: If the API token is missing, expired, or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate. Refresh or reconfigure the API credentials.
  • API rate limits or connectivity issues: Network problems or hitting API rate limits may cause errors. Check network connectivity and Apaleo API usage quotas.
  • Error messages from the API: The node surfaces error messages from the Apaleo API. Review these messages to understand issues like "block not found" or permission denied.
