Overview
The "Get Campfires" operation in the Basecamp node retrieves campfire chat rooms from a Basecamp account. Campfires are real-time group chat spaces used by teams to communicate and collaborate quickly. This operation is useful for scenarios where you want to list or analyze active or past campfire chats, integrate campfire data into other workflows, or monitor team communication channels.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching all campfire chats to display in a dashboard.
- Extracting campfire metadata for archival or reporting purposes.
- Triggering follow-up actions based on new or updated campfire chats.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Return All Results | Whether to return all campfire results or limit the output to a specific number. |
| Return Full Response | Whether to return the full HTTP response (status code, headers, body) instead of only the body. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the campfire(s) retrieved from the Basecamp API. The structure typically includes details such as campfire IDs, names, URLs, and other metadata describing each campfire chat room.
If "Return Full Response" is enabled, the output will include the entire HTTP response object, including status code and headers, which can be useful for debugging or advanced handling.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an authenticated connection to the Basecamp API using OAuth2 credentials.
- The node expects the Basecamp account ID to be configured as part of the credentials.
- Network access to the Basecamp API endpoint (
https://3.basecampapi.com/) is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication Errors: Ensure that the OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up and authorized for the Basecamp account.
- API Rate Limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the API may throttle responses; consider enabling pagination or limiting results.
- Pagination Handling: When "Return All Results" is enabled, the node uses pagination headers to fetch all pages. If pagination fails, verify network connectivity and API response headers.
- Unexpected Response Structure: If the API changes or returns errors, enabling "Return Full Response" can help diagnose issues by inspecting status codes and headers.
