Overview
This node integrates with the Basecamp API to retrieve detailed information about a specific project within a Basecamp account. It is useful when you need to fetch project metadata such as project name, description, status, and other related details for automation workflows involving project management or reporting.
Common scenarios include:
- Automatically pulling project details to sync with other tools.
- Triggering actions based on project attributes.
- Generating reports or dashboards that require up-to-date project information.
For example, you might use this node to get the full details of a project by its ID and then update a CRM system or notify a team via chat about the project's current status.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Project ID | The unique numeric identifier of the project to retrieve. Used in the API endpoint path. |
| Return Full Response | Boolean option to return the entire HTTP response (including status code and headers) instead of just the response body. Useful for debugging or advanced handling. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the project details retrieved from the Basecamp API. This typically includes fields such as project name, description, creation date, status, and other metadata provided by Basecamp for the specified project.
If the "Return Full Response" property is enabled, the output will include the full HTTP response object containing status code, headers, and body, allowing more granular control or inspection of the API response.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Basecamp API using OAuth2 authentication.
- The user must provide valid credentials with access to the Basecamp account.
- The node uses the Basecamp API base URL constructed dynamically from the authenticated account ID.
- No additional external dependencies are required beyond the configured API credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Project ID: If the project ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return a 404 error. Verify the project ID before running the node.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure that the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access project data.
- API Rate Limits: Basecamp may enforce rate limits; if exceeded, requests may fail temporarily.
- Return Full Response Confusion: Enabling "Return Full Response" changes the output format. Make sure downstream nodes handle the full response object correctly.
